Hopefully you didn't crank it with the starter before cranking it through a couple of revolutions by hand. If you did, very bad things could have happened.

If you didn't crank it with the starter you can back the whole thing back up and re-time the shafts. The timing belt will want to mess with the tensioner when you crank it backwards but with the spark plugs out it shouldn't be to bad.

The secret to life here is to get the belt very taught over the idler from the crankshaft sprocket to the intake cam sprocket and then the rest of the way around before you pull the "grenade pin" on the tensioner.
