Working on graphics

So, I spent several hours (split up over several days while watching movies and such) working on a banner for this here bloggy do-dad... I triple-checked the size of the image that I need before I went to work, but somehow, it's still way too big, which is way our faces are cut off...

I also need to figure out a way to change the color of the title...

Does anybody know where we can find some fun custom templates for Blogger?
