Thoughts on Interaction Design is added to my blog roll , i have found Welie’s Pattern library extremely useful for UI patterns while designing for webapps.

On my present on-going projects, i had to place the breadcrumbs in a strategic way and make it look good.

Here I have complied a list of links which I visited to help me keep track of them and remember on which project I used it for.

Useful search results with keywords as ”UI patterns for breadcrumbs” on Live and Google search engines.
