Well, I have been following advice about things like text, and blending, and I think that I did good on this one. So, how did I do.

...Your best by far. Definitely the biggest improvement from all of your signatures. Wow.
There are a lot of fine lines around the render. In order to remove those, duplicate the render twice and then blur the bottom one by going to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur and put it about 3.0. Then blur the top one and use the same strength, etc, then change the opacity to 30-50% It will help blend a lot.
The background is really nice and teh text is a major improvement. I'm really quite impressed. Try setting your text to overlay and also, set your text close to each other. Usually ahve the title of your sig big on top and then your name a little smaller below or something like that.
And, wow, you even had a border. I must say, biggest improvements. Just keep reading tuts and if this is what you get, then I must say... bravo! You learn quite quickly.

soooo much better! If you compare, you see most of the little white lines gone and she blends in a lot better rather than "Hello, I'm copy and paste!" ^_^

I know, I noticed it right when I did the blurring. thank you for your help. I was told on PBS that the text was unreadable and that it was a bit too dark. Does this look better?

Yeah, the text blends in more there. I wouldn't put your name in the middle of the signature, its more there just to claim the image, not to be part of it (Unless you can do of it right ) Also, I wouldn't put her face blurred in the background. It messes up the focal point, which should usually only be the renders face.
