Two things to check:

1) download your image from the web site (right-click, save image...) =

and compare it with the one you uploaded: same type (not a PNG turned =

into a JPG...)? same file size (otherwise it has been recompressed), =

same image size?

2)=A0 check that the image in the web page is exactly the size you set in =

Gimp (make a screen shot, import in Gimp, and put your original on it as =

a new layer and see of they can be made to overlap exactly). If the =

image is set to a different size by HTML directives, your browser will =

rescale it on the fly and this may not be pretty.
