Create an Elegant WordPress Theme – Photoshop Graphic Design Tutorial 12
It’s navigation time. Grab your rectangular marquee tool, and create a small rectangle right underneath the header. Fill it in with this HEX:7e2f10 color, and then grab your Burn Tool; set the size to 50, and stroke the top of the navigation one time. Exposure should be around 90%. Once you are done, select a pattern that you wish to use or just save mine listed below in the guide:

Hi vicky,
When you download the icon you dont need to put it anywhere specicly you just have to open it and add it to the document/image by draging the layer in to it.
Hope this helps

Thank you Tim, sorry i wasnt there to answer your question Vicky. The RSS Document is just like any document with layers. Like Tim said, you will have to open that document and then drag it over to your template.

Just one thing. I look around the net and see a lack of tutorials on creating good animations. I find tutorials that are fairy good but have never found one where i can say wow! thats brill! Any plans on doing a really good animation tutorial?

I am not really into animations so i dont think that i will be releasing any tutorials on animations. You may use the design for tutorial purpose only in other words, you may not sell it. Credit has to be given in-case you do decide to show it off.

It looks great and, the only major problem is that it isn’t quite effektive. Nice for someone not posting that much though.
