On Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are an IA term, derived from Hansel & Gretel story (to find your way back home). It would be nice to use this here somehow, but usually it's within the context of a site with a navigation scheme (which unfortunately we can't easily create w/in Blogger).

e.g.
SPECIMEN GARDEN>CATALOG>Tagging notes (keyword selection)

breadcrumbs -- woah -- i didn't realize there were so many conceptual metaphors to talk about web design -- of course there are.... but i love the Hansel & Gretel concept of breadcrumbs to create a trail back through the wilderness of web navigation! virtual fairytaleland
