Shorten the Bookmark Name

With two fingers, touch the name of the bookmark. A menu will appear.
Select Edit.
Rename or delete and use just the icon.

Heads up, if you rename a website that you are not supposed to use (music, games), I will delete them. I would rather you code (create) a game than play with one. As for music, we have a class playlist though I am working on a plan with the principal to use music as a reward. Please be patient and give me periodic reminders.
