All department websites begin with the basic NMSU template that consists of images, banners, etc. The Setup Block is one of these pre-fixed components but can be customized to have department-specific information in the Footer Contact and the Breadcrumb regions of your site.

Add a Breadcrumb

A breadcrumb or breadcrumb trail allows users to keep track of their locations within websites and provides a link to get back to a specified page quickly. In the example below, the only breadcrumb takes you back to the NMSU Home page. If you want to be able to go back to your department home page, these instructions will show you how.

  1. After clicking Edit on the Setup Block, expand the Breadcrumb group.

  2. Click Choose File, Page, or Link and select the page for your breadcrumb.

  3. Enter a Label. (This is the name that will show up in the Breadcrumb trail.)

  4. Submit.

  5. Open one of your pages to see the new breadcrumb.
