>Now, the tree would say =
>[ Home ]
>  [ Thoughts ]
>    ..U R here...

>Then, if the user were to go to another parent's child, it would display :
>[ Home ]
>  [ Thoughts ]
>  [ Parent ]
>    ..U R here...

Would this history be persistent? In other words, if I am at Home > Thoughts
and go to Home > Rants, does the tree look like this:

	[ Home ]
		[ Thoughts ]
		[ Rants ]

Or does it look like this:

	[ Home ]
		[ Rants ]

If the latter, it's just a breadcrumb in a different layout. I've seen this
layout on some sites, search engines, etc but can't recall any off-hand.

If the former, be aware it could become unweildy very quickly if the user
visits a lot of pages.

As for storage, either a database or a cookie would probably work. I prefer
the cookie off-hand because with the database you would need to deal with
deleting the information when a user leaves.
