Thank you for this! Between your last and rt's explanation and this, I'm sure I can muddle through! You all never disappoint, thank you so much for your awesome help and being so generous with it. Side note...Where I've decided to insert my breadcrumbs is playing wonky with some pages because of the size of the image that sits above. This has forced me to be a good girl and more uniformly insert the proper coding for these images..ie, size, etc lol. It so funny, whenever you try and get away with something lazy, something else happens to show you why its reeeeally best to do things properly from the beginning.
