Yes, there are plenty of methods out there for you to choose from.
You won't need a lot of the information that I'm going to give you for a long time but you asked for it so I will give you it. As I have said there are plenty of methods for you to use although there are three that are very popular. Two of them are called 'Block Building' methods, they are so called because the first step is to build a 'block of colour' on one side of the cube. These methods are called the Petrus Method and the Roux method, created by Lars Petrus and Gilles Roux respectively. The method you are curently using actually has a lot of potential, you can get below 20 seconds! I'm sure another member will set you up with a link.
If you are another one of those 'I want to get fast now!' people then you might as well follow the crowd and use the Fridrich method, so called because it was adapted and optimised by Jessica Fridrich. This is very similar to your method at the moment; build a cross but then finish the 'F2L' or First Two Layers win one step. You will then Orientate the Last Layer (OLL) and finally Permute the last layer to finish the cube (PLL).
And that is your very basic 'I want to get faster' answer. If you had bothered to look in the Beginner's Section, you would have found this thread repeated plenty of times and if you had put a little more thought into the whole thing you may have realised there is a 'search function'; if you used it you might have found something similar.

This video should be required viewing for new members (and I wish Erik had included the description in the video, will ask him to add it as annotation).

With Socks?
Do socks give you magical abilities to solve 8/5 times faster? I got to try that!
Edit:
You use the Tetris method where you build legos! Tetris is the best!

Hi there,
It's not a big problem, but try searching for other threads first before opening a new one as it makes people get a little annoyed having to answer the same questions a lot..
Also, when you are typing, try to type with atleast a tiny amount of grammar and spelling, if you look at the top-right corner of the message-screen there is actually a spell check button. People don't feel inclined to help you when you type like an 8-year-old and it takes them 10 minutes to decipher what you've written.
