I've been looking at some tutorials lately and some of them say to create a "transparent layer." Is this a special setting for the layer or does this mean that I can just create a layer and set the opacity down a little bit?

i think they mean to simply create a layer, as a layer is automatically transparant.
if you fill it with a color then it's no longer transparant unless you change the opacity of that layer.


on the other hand, maybe they mean when you create a new document, choose the setting transparent in stead of white or background color.

I would take it to mean a blank new layer as opposed to a duplicate layer (layer/new/layer) or shift+ctrl+N on the full version of Photoshop. Wayne

all 'new' layers are transparent unless you designate a color, gradient or pattern or unless you're duplicating an existing layer
