(1) You need to use the existing xcf templates
here. Option#1, you would a transparent background and the horizontal divider to make it seamless. The bottom horizontal divider is required and should remain fixed in it's position. In xcf option #2 , you use vertical dividers on each side, as well as the horizontal divider on the bottom, with your banner between. The horizontal divider is fixed but you can move the vertical dividers out toward the edges more to make more room for you banner. Just remember to leave the last few pixels, to the left and right of the vertical banners, transparent, so it will flow properly and integrate with the website.
(2) The entire banner should be 930x200, including the required transparent background & dividers.
(3) The image should be a PNG.
(4) You can
upload the image or attach the image using the upload attachment section below the submit button in each post.
To make things simple, you can just create a banner 900x180, any style you like, and I'll border it with the default blue dividers.
