WOW that is a nice result...I don't know how I missed that. =O
Well like everything in a tutorial its optional. If you'd rather use filters and other tools rather than a brushed background you're welcome to do so. :w:

I'm glad that you like it. :l:
Your signature is very nice, the only thing that I would work on is the text. The background, render and border are great. ^_^

While I could make a remark about the text being better, I won't as the blended text you used is fine.
Nice work on the signature, I like it a lot. It would look better with at least a 2 pixel border, though.
I'm glad that this tutorial is still helping out. :h:

I've found that putting a border (even if it is 1 or 2 pixels) it does improve the signature. But really in the end its up to you.
@ Thorn:
Great result. Everything looks good, but the smaller text is a little thick and hard to read.

Click on the white background surrounding a render with the magic wand tool, now in the menus select "Select"->Invert. Now go to edit and cut and paste your image.

Nice work. :h:
The bottom text is really pixely, and could be better but besides that it its all good.

Just Normal. Just click on the background of the render that you want to select and cut out.

Below in the menu, you can adjust a threshold bar. Adjust this to the right, then try again.
@ Major Sev:
This was originally posted on another forum in which the skill level of Gimp users is much lower than on here, that's why I've made reference to stuff being difficult/advanced.
