One thing that iGoogle doesn’t currently allow you to do is move your tabs around to change the order of them. A quick Google search returns hundreds of pages where iGoogle users are asking how to do this. Until this feature is officially added, here’s how you can do it yourself...
Yesterday, Google added a feature to iGoogle which allows you to export and import your settings.
Exporting your settings to your computer downloads an XML file which contains information about all of your tabs, gadgets and theme settings. (You can see what yours looks like here.)
If you’re familiar with XML, it should be quite obvious what you need to do. If not, simply follow these steps:
<Tab title=
. There should be a section like this for each of your iGoogle tabs. (If there are any you don’t recognize, they could be used by iGoogle for Mobile.)<Tab title=
and the next occurrence of </Tab>
(including the tags themselves). Paste it either before or after the <Tab>
section that you want it to appear next to.(If things didn’t go to plan, find the copy of your XML file and upload that, which should restore everything to the same as it was before.)
