   For those wishing to use a non-plugin based breadcrumb trail, simply insert the following code in functions:

   function breadcrumb() {
   	// Check if Permalinks are enabled
   
   	$breadcrumb = array();
   
   	// Get current post
   	$current = $post->ID;
   
   	// Check if current post has ancestors
   	if($GLOBALS['post']->ancestors) {
   		$ancestors = $GLOBALS['post']->ancestors;
   
   		// Step through ancestors array to build breadcrumb
   		foreach($ancestors as $i => $text)
   		{
   		$breadcrumb[$i] = '<a href="' . get_page_link($text) . '" title="' . attribute_escape(apply_filters('the_title', $text->post_title)) . '">'.get_the_title($text).'</a>';}
   	}
   	// Insert a link to home
   	array_unshift($breadcrumb, '<a href="' . get_option('home') . '" alt="Home" title="Home">Home</a>');
   
   	$breadcrumb[] .= '<a href="' . get_page_link($current->ID) . '" title="' . attribute_escape(apply_filters('the_title', $current->post_title)) . '">'.get_the_title($current).'</a>';
   
   	// Display breacrumb with demarcator
   	echo implode(' > ', $breadcrumb);
   }

   I jumped the gun a little there. Here's a more robust version:

   $breadcrumb = array();
   
   	// Get current page
   	global $wp_query;
   	$current = $wp_query->post;
   
   	// Check if current post has ancestors
   	if($current->ancestors) {
   		$ancestors = array_reverse($current->ancestors);
   
   		// Step through ancestors array to build breadcrumb
   		foreach($ancestors as $i => $text)
   		{
   			$breadcrumb[$i] = '<a href="' . get_page_link($text) . '" title="' . attribute_escape(apply_filters('the_title', $text->post_title)) . '">'.ucfirst(strtolower(get_the_title($text))).'</a>';
   		}
   	}
   
   	// Insert a link to the current page
   	$breadcrumb[] = '<a href="' . get_page_link($current->ID) . '" title="' . attribute_escape(apply_filters('the_title', $current->post_title)) . '">'.ucfirst(strtolower(get_the_title($current))).'</a>';
   
   	// Insert a link to home
   	array_unshift($breadcrumb, '<a href="' . get_option('home') . '" alt="Home" title="Home">Home</a>');
   
   	// Display breacrumb with demarcator
   	echo implode(' > ', $breadcrumb);
   }
