Selecting a region of an image and highlighting a border it (stroke selection):
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Borders_On_Selections/

Note: If necessary, crop image first. Save, close GIMP. Re open GIMP, select region to apply stroke. Right click and choose Edit > Stroke Selection. As of GIMP v2.6.9.

Making a transparent GIF or PNG:
First scan the image you want to make transparent - for example, your signature should be done on a piece of white paper and then scanned into a TIF image. Scan it at a very high resolution. I had success with a TIF at 600dpi.
