        ), // set FALSE to hide
        'home' => array(
            'showLink' => false
        )
    )
);
?>

Advanced Customization

if (function_exists('show_full_breadcrumb')) show_full_breadcrumb(
    array(

            'home'   => __('Home'),
            'page'   => __('Page'),
            'tag'    => __('Tag'),
            'search' => __('Searching for'),
            'author' => __('Published by'),
            '404'    => __('Error 404 &rsaquo; Page not found')
        ),
        'separator' => array(
            'element' => 'span',
            'class'   => 'separator',
