Hmm... well, if you created it in PhotoShop, and if the whole thing's one big graphic, seems like all you need to do is open it in Photoshop, go into image and select Image Size.
You can actually give it a percentage from there; make sure you select "keep aspect ratio" so it preserves your current proportions. Um... ya might wanna shrink it more than 6%.. that's a rather large graphic.
Re text.. if DW's like LJ, you can select your text for the title... but then maybe that's associated w/ the theme you pick. Mine allowed me to do that. I'm not entirely crazy about the font, (which appears to be the same one as yours, BTW...).. haven't really tried to mess with it that much yet.
One other suggestion re fonts... if it will allow you to NOT display some kind of text up there, you could add text in the font of your choice as part of the graphic... then it'd be just part of the artwork & independent of what people might choose for a default browser font. If you do that, consider adding something in the "alt text" area in your image code so people who are surfing w/o images or or who are sight impaired can still have some idea of what your site's about...
I don't know if DW will let you adjust the size of the text area. The theme I'm using on LJ lets me tweak that; on general principle, I've always set the area at 90% of the window; that way, it's more likely to reconfigure itself so you don't need to keep scrolling back & forth, which is something I personally find annoying.
Re gravel... hmmm... how 'bout asphalt then...?? Somebody down Wacahoota Road actually HAS made a gravel pit in his front yard... if you come up the Williston Rd side you can see it; so far it looks OK.
