What you think of my website and give me some tips if you have any!

Well, I have a hard time putting too much faith in a 'security' website 
that defines a hacker as:

One who uses programming skills or programmes to gain illegal access to 
a computer, computer network, Server, Mainframe or file, to steal 
information.

... which is terribly inaccurate.  I feel I am a hacker, but I don't use 
programming skills or programs to gain illegal access to anything... nor 
do I attempt to steal information.

Your definition of hacking is far too restrictive, as well.

I think you'll want to rework your site to use the terms cracker and 
cracking instead of hacker and hacking... here's some info for you:

http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/C/cracker.html

I didn't get beyond your definitions page, so can't comment much on 
anything else on the site.
