I'd suggest creating an image of the Blog title and use it.
For my wife's blog (
http:callofthemuse.com) I built it on a Mac in Safari and used Zapfino for the font and had a nice drop shadow and it looked great. Then I went and looked in IE (bah!). Turns out, IE doesn't support Zapfino, so it defaulted the the second font I had listed and it looked so bad.
I finally settled on using an image of the way it looked in Safari. I displayed it wide, took a screen capture, cropped the image and now use it so it looks the same in all browsers.
