This week's tips come from "101 Insanely Clever Tips To Make Your Life Easier" (http://diyhshp.blogspot.com/2012/07/tips-tips-and-more-tips.html). This blog mainly has tips for doing things around the house more efficiently. However, if you can do things on the web more quickly, then you will have time for other things too.

Tip #5
Need to open a page in a new tab? Instead of right clicking and selecting "Open in new tab", save time by clicking on the link with the middle button on your mouse. If you don't have a mouse with a middle button you can hold down the ctrl key while clicking on the link.

Tip #29
Accidentally close a tab on your browser? No problem! Hit CTRL+Shift+T and the page will pop up again.

Tip #54
To find the original source of any photo open two windows one with Google home page and another with the photo you want to find. Click on the photo and drag it over to the Google search bar. Google will then come up with a list of searches that match that photo. (I recommend removing the previous URL before dragging a new picture to the search bar.)
