In this section I will show you how to add the page text links for your navigation on your new web page header.

Next Select the Rounded Rectangle marquee tool with a radius of 5px fill color #3881ea and create your selection as I have done below.

Next double click on the new shape layer you have just created and set you Advanced blending options to 58% this will lower the fill of your button so you should see some of the graphic through it. next we want to add a stock to the button so in the Layer Style Options Panel again click on Stroke, Size 2px color #FFFFFF. that will give you exactly the same as I have in the image above.

Now each of these buttons will become your header links so we will duplicated them.

To do this right click on the shape selection in your layers pallet and then click duplicate layer. Do this as many time as you need for each header link as I have done below.


Now all you need to do is add your text onto the buttons and your off and running!

Here is my finished header!
