The trials and tribulations of running a WordPress blog.
We briefly experienced a new Category failure problem. About 99% of all our old categories were suffering from an invalid Category ID. They were still there, and yet they were not there. They worked part of the time, but not where it counts the most.
While it seems so deceptively simple, nobody has been able to implement Breadcrumb Navigation for posts, categories, and tags correctly in Wordpress, until now.
Not only did I duplicate everything that the All in One SEO plugin does. My quick fix is actually better than the original. Rather than have these HTML statements spread all over the place in the source code, those SEO directives are now located exactly where they should be: On the very top of the source code for each web page page.

Content is effectively presented both to visitors as well as to the search engines. Further all of its content is accessible due to a built in search feature.
