Suzie, I think that the breadcrumbs are usually after the header/banner/etc. stuff at the top and start of the content. Look on nfb.org and after you pick a topic, there is a "you are here" at heading level 2 before the content.

Jim,
How do I find this? Do I simply go to the top and start down arrowing?

I am told a page does not have breadcrumbs, but when I hit alt + left arrow I get to the previous page. I thought that meant the page has a breadcrumb.
How do I know if a page has a breadcrumb?
PP: Suzie, breadcrumb refers to the visual and text based indicator on a page that lays out the hierarchy. For instance on may pages, you'll see something like:
About > Profiles > Jim Smith
Or:
Services > document remediation > PDF and Word
This gives users a hierarchical path to the site, provides organization, and used to help search engines. (I'm not sure if search engines still use breadcrumb navigation.)
