big noob question (text pixelized when using blend tool)

Hi all,
I am quite new to gimp and have a big noob question. When I create a text using the text tool, everything is fine (text is created in color I want).
But then, when I do : "right-click on text-layer" / "alpha to selection" and apply blend tool (with two colors), then text gets ugly and pixelized. You can see it right here: http://remydamour.com/gimp_issue.html Could anybody help me on this?
Regards,
Remy

It looks like you might have the image in Indexed mode. Try converting it to RGB (Image->Mode->RGB).
