Coding breadcrumbs manually
-
I have a super static site - whats the best way to hardcode (manually if possible) the breadcrumbs i.e. the correct mark up etc?
Not got a super large site (about 60 pages) and find people land on deep pages and seem to bounce outta there, working on things to turn this around etc but would like to add breadcrumbs as I think some people would probably go up a level in our site to find what they are looking for.

What type of semantic markup are you planning on using? Here is the code for if you're using schema.org:
- <body< span="">itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage"></body<>
- ...
- <div< span="">itemprop="breadcrumb"></div<>
- <a< span="">href="category/books.html">Books ></a<>
- <a< span="">href="category/books-literature.html">Literature & Fiction ></a<>
- <a< span="">href="category/books-classics">Classics</a<>

Cost Difference Between Coding Custom Theme or Coding Child Theme
Assuming there is an SEO advantage to coding a Wordpress custom theme (wondering if that assumption is correct) versus modifying a child theme, is there a very significant cost difference between the two choices? Competition in my niche (New York City commercial real estate is keen) and I am dealing with competitors such as www.wework.com, 42floors.com and squarefoot.com with optimized sites built with quality code. In the event that we modify a child theme, I am leaning in any case towards have wireframes and illustrations provided to present to the developer. Should I expect a custom theme to be double the cost, triple assuming the design is provided? I have read that code maintenance on a child theme is less costly as modifications get pushed to the parent theme. How substantial are maintenance costs (time to maintain) for a custom theme? Thanks!!!

How import are breadcrumbs SEO wise on a wordpress blog?
I was recently told I should take the breadcrumbs off of our site, for if no other reason than that it would look much nicer, and I tend to agree. I was curious how much seo weight breadcrumbs add to a site, and if I would take a big hit if I removed them... Thanks!

Testing your code and site
I’ve got various WordPress websites with the Share This social plugin for WordPress. I have been using Firebug and http://analyze.websiteoptimization.com/wso to do general checks on the site and the code. And used W3C validator too. Due to the way WordPress appears to work we never seem to be able to get all the firebug/ website optimization tests to pass and the W3C validator passes everything on HTML 5 apart from 7 errors with the Share This social plugin. How do you test your code/websites? Should I stop be a perfectionist and just be happy?

Multidimensional breadcrumbs
Hi everyone, I've been planing to implement breadcrumbs to client's website. However products are under multiple categories, so simple one dimensional breadcrumb isn't quite right for the job. I've been experimenting with several implementations, but sadly I wasn't satisfied with their look and feel. Which multidimensional breadcrumbs would you recommend? Thanks Bojan
