Banner Over Me

Oh man, I have just spent all day trying to figure out how to make a banner for a website. I want to make my own, I have a specific drawing I want to use and I just can't do it. I did figure out some cool features of Corel Photo-Paint I never knew existed, and I have had the software for 6 years...Geez, I can write HTML code, I can edit pictures, why can't I figure this out? I am so frustrated. I'm ready to just draw the banner, scan it and use that.
