Setting the 'Home' link
If you select 'Home' as one of the navigation items for your web pages, you probably want this to link to the homepage of your website. Use the full address to your website e.g. http://www.yourwebsite.com
When to use the Crumbtrail
If you have a complex structure of categories, the crumbtrail will prove very useful to your website visitors. This provides them with a clear picture of the route they followed to arrive at a particular page. If they want to retrace their steps to a particular point, they will be able to click a link and go straight there. Everything that helps your website visitor save time and effort is a bonus.
Here is what a crumbtrail looks like:
Listings > Residential >100 - 160,000 > Croom Cottage, Sunnyside
In this example, the web visitor knows exactly where the current page is on your website and has at least 3 options for back-tracking.
When NOT to select the Crumbtrail
If you are only using the Web Search on your website. (In other words, your categories file has no categories in it). The crumbtrail link will be superfluous.
Or
If you use a simple categories structure, there is no need for a crumbtrail. The standard navigation links will provide your web visitors with plenty of options and a crumbtrail will be superfluous.
