Don't make text out of blocks. It's costly on the number of faces in your map.
Don't put your name huge in the sky. It's very amateur.
Create a custom texture, and hide it somewhere. Perhaps behind a destructible wall, like i've seen in CS_Office.
Put the whole thing into one texture, rather than a separate texture per image. If it's white, it means the custom texture is not installed correctly. There are many guides for this, do check one out.

you want an alpha background. you can delete the white in photoshop, and save as a loss-less file type with alpha capabilities.

save it as a png file from photoshop and then drag it onto vtf edit. then save it from there and it works all fine!

But it's fun to make letters out of blocks! =)
And while you should take Zephs advice, if you NEED three-dimensional letters, you could alway propper them, -or- download a letter pack from garry's mod or similar(you need to own garry's mode to download the models).
