Now before you go crazy with setting up your image, when you Create a new image, click on the plus next to advanced options. Then click the drop down arrow and select transparency
Type in your text. If you want more than one line, then just remember to merge them into the one layer. Duplicate it so you have 3 text layers
Now for the first glitter. Remember to click on the eye on the top 2 before you start pattern filling. Pick the first glitter and pattern fill the letters
Now when doing the 2nd and 3rd glitter, drag the text ontop of the background. For some reason, if you leave it where it was, it won't show you've glittered it. Click the eye so you can see where you need to fill it. Do this for the 2nd and 3rd glitter. Merge whichever glitter is ontop of the background
Save it as a gif. It may ask you to go back and crop it. Don't let gimp do it for you because gimp is gay and doesn't do it properly haha.
The reason you don't need a background is because, if you had the white background, it would turn out white. I know the MB forums are white and you wouldn't notice it, but if you want to put it in your About Me page, then the white background will show. With the Transparency, you have no background at it will look awesome in your About Me page :D
This is my result:
