Default Tips for using full-sheet alphas

I remember seeing some questions about using full-sheet alphas a little while back, and thought I'd write a tutorial with some of the steps and shortcuts I use to make working with them a little quicker. It's posted today on Libby's blog:

Using full-sheet alphas

Hope you find it helpful!

Terrific job, Christy - this is so much easier than all rigamarole I've been going through to use these alphas! I'm actually getting ready to use Libby's new alpha in a LO I'm doing, so I'll get to put it to use soon.

That is a super smart way of dealing with full-sheet alphas. Perhaps it can help me not hate them as much, haha.

OMG I always would shift from window to window "cutting out" the alpha. I love that you added a recap in the end with the shortcuts. Thanks, Christy and Libby!
