Step 14 - funky border
Well, this part is also pretty easy. We will do only 6 layers here. Pick brush tool with white color, 1px in size and make a doodle as mine below. Notice the beginning and end of doodle.![step-014[5] step-014[5]](https://cdn.photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/ddb09352d992_2F5/step-0145.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=64&w=1920&ssl=1)

Step 15 - blog post / sidebar
With type tool add the blog post title, meta information's and content. Remember to leave some space for comments counter. Also follow the tips on the image (red color). I used advent pro and Arial fonts.![step-015[5] step-015[5]](https://cdn.photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/ddb09352d992_2F5/step-0155.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=64&w=1920&ssl=1)

Step 16 - search form
Pick some light color like #e4e2e4. Then choose Rounded Rectangle Tool and set some small radius, like 3-4 pixels. Make a shape on header, stick it to the guide, then lower it's opacity to about 85%. Place it on the level of your logo.![step-016[5] step-016[5]](https://cdn.photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/ddb09352d992_2F5/step-0165.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=64&w=1920&ssl=1)
