Add Tab to Your iGoogle Page

I love my iGoogle page and I've run out of room for all the awesome Google Gadgets, so I decided to organize my iGoogle page/gadgets with tabs!

Tabs help quickly navigate to your fav content! This may also help your iGoogle pages load faster as well!

Tabs on iGoogle used to be on the top and worked like the tabs on the Firefox Browser and the Internet Explorer Browser. They now appear at the left side of the page by default. If you use Firefox and want the tabs on top, click here to get the 'iGoogle Tab Remover add-on' for firefox.

This process is really Easy and takes less than a minute!

*** First you need an iGoogle page. So if you don't have one, sign in and go to www.igoogle.com.***

Okay, Go to your iGoogle page at www.google.com/ig.
Now, look in the top left corner of your browser window, just above your Gadgets.
You will find a tab labeled "Home". To the right of this, there is a drop down arrow. Click that arrow and select the "Add a tab" link.

Choose the name for your new tab, because you will be adding it immediately.
*(By default, the "I'm feeling lucky" box is selected. Keep this selection if you want Google to add gadgets to your new tab based on the tab's name. Example: if the name is Games, Google will select popular games to add to your tab.)
Click to 'deselect' this option if you want to add the gadgets yourself.

You are done! Wasn't that easy? To navigate between tabs, just click on the tab.

When you want to add gadgets to a tab, click the tab you want to add the gadget to, and then click on the "Add stuff" link on the right side of the window.

If you get the gadget on the wrong tab or decide to move a gadget to another tab, just click and drag the gadget to it's appropriate tab. (The gadget will disappear from the current tab you are working in, to let you know that it has moved.)
