So close, and yet
All right. Consulted Blogger Help and an incredibly helpful blog called The Real Blogger Status, which has everything you'd ever need to unveil the mysteries of HTML.
Really close now. Got the picture inserted into the title box, but no clue why it's so dinky.
Now I really am walking away.

By dinky, do you mean why is it not tall? If so, nine or ten lines above where you had to insert the location of the picture is a line that says
padding:20px 20px .25em;
First, change the part that says .25em; to 20px; It'll make your life easier.
Px stands for pixel. Everything that gets displayed on the computer screen is made up of tiny dots, and a pixel is a dot. What that line of code describes is how much space should be around the word Pegotty. After you changed it, it should look like this:
padding:20px 20px 20px;
The second 20px specifies how much space should be on either side of it. Since your text is very short and your box is very wide, it's irrelevant. Just leave it alone.
The first 20px specifies how much space should be above the word. The third 20px specifies how much space should be below the word. By tweaking those numbers, you can adjust the height of the header and where the word is placed on the image. Keeping them equal keeps the word centered. At a guess, I'd say that when the two numbers add up to 120px or thereabouts, your image will be its full height. You can go taller if you'd like, and in that case the image will just repeat again like it already does horizontally.
A tip if you get weird results: make sure the semicolon is still at the end of the line. It's easy to delete by accident.
Good luck :)
And thanks Becky, for the info: yes, that's exactly what I meant by dinky. I'll try playing with it some tomorrow.
