Schema.org breadcrumb microdata with SVG icon -
Breadcrumb navigation serves to provide a link back to each previous page the
user has passed through, and shows the user's current location on the website.
Simply put, the breadcrumb on a page shows the position of the page in the site
hierarchy.
In this case, Google Search also uses the breadcrumb
markup of a web page to categorize information from the page in search results.
That way, users can arrive at a page and the user can return to the same web
page with the same category as the previous page.
At present there are still many sites or blogs that use
breadcrumb with data-vocabulary.org markup. But the schema.org markup is the
recommended markup for the latest breadcrumb.
Actually there is no need for any markup to make the
breadcrumb appear in search results, the important thing is there is page
navigation in the form of a list.
But whatever it is, we should implement something that is
recommended by search engines like Google. One of them is making breadcrumb
with schema.org markup.
This time I will share how to make breadcrumb for Blogger
by using the schema.org microdata markup by adding the SVG icon as a separator
of each label.
To make it like that, please follow the steps below.
Please copy the following code.
<b:includable id='breadcrumb' var='posts'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>
<b:if cond='data:post.labels'>
<div class='breadcrumbs' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList'>
<svg viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10,20V14H14V20H19V12H22L12,3L2,12H5V20H10Z' fill='#000000'/></svg>
<span itemprop='itemListElement' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/ListItem'>
<a expr:href='data:blog.homepageUrl' title='Home' itemprop='item'>
<span itemprop='name'>Home</span></a>
<meta content='1' itemprop='position'/>
</span>
<svg viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M5.5,9A1.5,1.5 0 0,0 7,7.5A1.5,1.5 0 0,0 5.5,6A1.5,1.5 0 0,0 4,7.5A1.5,1.5 0 0,0 5.5,9M17.41,11.58C17.77,11.94 18,12.44 18,13C18,13.55 17.78,14.05 17.41,14.41L12.41,19.41C12.05,19.77 11.55,20 11,20C10.45,20 9.95,19.78 9.58,19.41L2.59,12.42C2.22,12.05 2,11.55 2,11V6C2,4.89 2.89,4 4,4H9C9.55,4 10.05,4.22 10.41,4.58L17.41,11.58M13.54,5.71L14.54,4.71L21.41,11.58C21.78,11.94 22,12.45 22,13C22,13.55 21.78,14.05 21.42,14.41L16.04,19.79L15.04,18.79L20.75,13L13.54,5.71Z' fill='#000000'/></svg>
<b:loop index='num' values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<span itemprop='itemListElement' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='https://schema.org/ListItem'>
<a expr:href='data:label.url + "?&max-results=16"' expr:title='data:label.name' itemprop='item'>
<span itemprop='name'><data:label.name/></span>
</a>
<meta expr:content='data:num+2' itemprop='position'/>
</span>
<b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>
<svg viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M8.59,16.58L13.17,12L8.59,7.41L10,6L16,12L10,18L8.59,16.58Z' fill='#000000'/></svg>
</b:if>
</b:loop>
<svg viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M8.59,16.58L13.17,12L8.59,7.41L10,6L16,12L10,18L8.59,16.58Z' fill='#000000'/></svg>
<span><data:post.title/></span>
</div>
</b:if>
</b:loop>
</b:if>
</b:includable>Please save above the code <b:includable id='comment-form' var='post'> . If there is a code like or similar before, please replace it with the code above.
Then add the following CSS style to make the breadcrumb
look neat.
/* Breadcrumb */
.breadcrumbs{background:#fff;line-height:1.2em;width:auto;overflow:hidden;margin:0;padding:10px 0;border-top:1px solid #dedede;border-bottom:1px solid #dedede;font-size:80%;color:#888;font-weight:400;text-overflow:ellipsis;-webkit-text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap}
.breadcrumbs a{display:inline-block;text-decoration:none;transition:all .3s ease-in-out;color:#666;font-weight:400}
.breadcrumbs a:hover{color:#11589D}
.breadcrumbs svg{width:16px;height:16px;vertical-align:-4px}
.breadcrumbs svg path{fill:#666}Finally, save the following code where you want to display the breadcrumb.
<b:include data='posts' name='breadcrumb'/>For example, you can save it under the code <b:includable id='main' var='top'> and breadcrumb will appear at the top of the post.
Good luck and hopefully useful.
