      We want to implement breadcrumbs to improve the usability of our website - if we manually input breadcrumbs into the body of every page via our CMS are there any negative effects?

        Breadcrumbs add great value to the pages and helps pass PR around the site. However, since you are going around the CMS, you better keep the links under tight control to make sure the breadcrumbs don't eventually lead to 404 pages. Also, I strongly suggest to use the breadcrumb microformat for an enhanced search display in Google search results.
