History – a story of breadcrumbs
We all know the fairytale Hansel and Gretel where two kids use breadcrumbs they left along the way to get back home. That would greatly help users of your page to get a sense of control of where they are on your page. Most pages fail to do this preventing proper usage or not maximizing all the potential information your user can get from your page.
Control allows users to view through a simple “Home > About > Sub Page Title” line where they are at and should they want to get back to the second tier of the page, a simple click is all it takes rather than several on the browser history button.
