nice work. great for gimp.

I can't say much about the font - but I can tell you the JPEG Compression is hurting it badly - artifacts are obvious and clarity is lost. Save it as PNG instead. [or if you did - find an image host that won't convert it, like Tinypic or Imageshack]

you might want to put the font in bold... or make it bigger. I can't read your name at all.
