Taskbar (panel) on left, rather than bottom?

Hi all, about to install latest LMDE with Cinnamon. I like my taskbar / dock on the left, to make better use of real estate.

Mint doesn't have that option to move it to the left.

Can I ask if anyone has done this, in a good, usable way?

Thanks for your help.

You should be able to move the panel to the left by right clicking it and selecting Move

You can also add more than one panel, and have separate items on each. I have a different panel layout for each monitor.

That's awesome! I'll definitely try that out. Thanks again
