How to Keep Same UINavigationView Button across all storyboard views?

So I'm working through the code in this tutorial which has a small button labeled 'Touch Me'. When you tap this it brings up a new view which also has a close button. I've added a screenshot below and you can download the source code here.

app ui top bar

The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to port over this .xib code to work in Xcode 4.2 storyboards. I am trying to keep that same 'Touch' button and 'AnotherView' displaying on a brand new 'Master-Detail Application' running iOS 5.

I am struggling to even keep the button displaying on every view. As in, you can tap the button 'Touch Me' to bring up this alternate view at any page - in the table view or the detail view. I hope this makes some sense? Note that I'm NOT talking about the table row, just the top right button in the UINavigationBar.

Please let me know if I can provide any more details! Just trying to build a similar functionality as the 'Touch Me' button in a fresh new iOS 5/Xcode 4.2 Storyboard app WITHOUT any .xib files. thanks in advance

As your know storyboard doesn't use XIBs so you won't be able to follow the tutorial line for line.

I recommended first creating a new storyboard project and select the "Master-Detail Application" template when creating the project. This will create a project with a Navigation controller. You can then follow the tutorial on customizing the navigation bar. When following the first part of the tutorial, you will need to select the initial view,"Navigation Controller", in storyboard and change its class to "KTNavigationBar" after you create that class.
