function the_breadcrumb() {
$sep = ' » ';

echo get_option('home');
echo '">';
bloginfo('name');
echo '</a>' . $sep;
if (is_category() || is_single() ){
the_category('title_li=');
} elseif (is_archive() || is_single()){

} else {
_e( 'Blog Archives', 'text_domain' );
}
}
if (is_single()) {
echo $sep;
the_title();
}

$post = get_page($page_for_posts_id);
setup_postdata($post);
the_title();
rewind_posts();
}
}
echo '</div>';
}
}
is_page()
