Your images are a bit too big.
Standard sig sizes are around 350x150 I think, 350 or 400, around there.
The font doesn't really fit in well, and I can't really tell if you did any effects to the image itself, but it's kind of blurred in a way.
Try trimming it down, and changing fonts.

The text is too small and hard to read, and doesn't fit well into the sig. It needs some antialiasing at least.

I can see you played around with the filters a bit, and I'm sure you had fun with them.

Keep exploring with those and layer blending modes for some neat effects. I'd also recommend downloading some interesting or different fonts from the 'net, but always keep in mind their readability!

sry but my vocab. isnt that advanced

could you sort of explain what antiliasin means?

anyways, i resized the image and about the text, well, i had chosen an option called merge visible which made me unable to make changes to the text :banghead:

anyways, what font would you have recommended for this sig? do you know any good websites were i can safely download them?

Never merge all layers. :!:

Anti-aliasing is an effect in Photoshop, I think there's Crisp, Sharp, Strong, and Smooth.. it makes the text clearer.

I use http://www.dafont.com for fonts, but there's many font websites around.. I'm sure you could Google some..

I think that's the best advice I've heard in this part of the forum... in forever.
