Tip of the Week- Pinning Tabs
If you are like me and tend to work with 20 tabs open at a time, then you need to know this trick. For sites that you keep open all day (for me these are my email, Twitter, and Google Drive) you can pin them so they stay up all day and don't take up as much room. Simply right click on an open tab in your browser, and select Pin Tab. All of your pinned tabs will scoot over to the far left where they will be easily accessible when you need them. This will also keep you from accidentally closing those super important tabs because the little x on the tab goes away when it is pinned. Drag and drop to rearrange tabs, and don't forget that if you DO accidentally close a tab in Chrome, Ctrl + Shift + T will bring it back :) Happy pinning!
