Site Name
I mentioned that your site name was okay and easy to remember, so no problems here.
Coding and Validation
Your HTML is validated HTML 4.01 Transitional!
Your CSS is validated; well done!
I am pleased that you’ve focused more on your coding and getting it validated. You really do care about your site and it makes me pleased that you take into account my review. 
Browser Compatibility & Usability
Looking at your site at Browsershots.org, things are looking pretty consistent and seem to look alright in almost all browsers.
However while your layout height is fine, the width is 830px meaning that a horizontal scrollbar will appear in small resolutions like 800 by 600. It might sound tacky but people DO still use that resolution so consider chopping your width down a bit, to something like 770px.
The navigation is clear but the text could be a tad bigger. Your links can be easily differentiated and your default text is of a good size.
Layout
I’m really pleased that you aren’t using celebrity images in this layout. I like the colours and I can really see your style in it.
I like the slightly futuristic look and you’ve chosen a unique and interesting combination of colours. The layout is simple but quite cool.
I talked already about the width, but that can be fixed!
Content
In your sidebar:
have 13 should be is 13
is re-opened should be was re-opened
i had lose all my stuffs should be I had lost all my stuff
Cs2 should be CS2
i used should be I used
Css should be CSS.
You don’t need to write about having things validated in your sidebar. You already have the links in your footer. You also don’t need to say your site is reopened. Your statistics section isn’t really ‘statistics’, it’s more ‘information’.
In your footer, Fun Update should be FanUpdate.
Ask Me
I’m really glad you aren’t using celebrity images anymore, and you’re not making them for others too!
Few errors:
celebrities layout should be celebrity layouts
Official Sites should be official sites.
You can customise the CSS on this page so the text is the same as your default text.
Domain
You have quite a lot of errors here:
First time should be Firstly
texts should be text
putted should be put
have downloaded should be had downloaded
Passing the time should be Over time
First time it was hard to learn how to use PHP should be It was hard to learn how to use PHP for the first time
site.I wanted to have it proffesional should be site. I wanted it to be professional
weren’t like should be weren’t
don’t had should be didn’t have
a lot should be had a lot
After a time should be After some time
on other should be on another
was wrong should be went wrong
I really should be now I really
and useful should be and with more useful
than were should be than were at.
On your advertising page, maltration should be mistreatment.
Dollar signs should be before the value – eg $1.
On your affiliates page:
piczo and freewebs should be Piczo and Freewebs
aninal maltration should be animal mistreatment
screenshoot should be screenshot
and E-Mail should be an email.
I think it’s quite silly to ask for a certain number of hits. Affiliates are meant to be friends, and it’s not fair to those with new sites.
Credits page is excellent. I see where you’re going using the http:// but you’ve put it in twice on your last two links.
Everything else in this domain section is great. Make more link buttons though!
Cristina
I’ll just be correcting the few errors you have. This page is well set out and there’s not too much information.

well(she should be well (she
help me should be helps me
learn me should be teach me.
This page is well written and you’ve only got very small errors in your grammar and spelling. Before it was really hard to see what you were talking about, but Cristina I see that your English is improving and you’re writing a lot better.
Resources
Download should be Downloads.
The coded layouts look great but again the header widths can be reduced. The layout don’t work in all resolutions; people still use 800 by 600! So unless you fix them, this point is invalid.
These Layouts should be These layouts.
If the fonts are not made by you, you should not be redistributing them.
Thank you for using my images in your scripts!
claim that should be claim that they.
The bullets are nice but the pixel text could do with some work. The font you’ve used isn’t very bold so it looks quite messy. Try a more pixel-type font.
Originality & Creativity
Things have improved and your site is a lot more original now; I’m pleased you are no longer using celebrity images.
You’re still that creative person you were before and I still see the creativity in your layout!
Organisation & Errors
Organisation was a lot more fresh this time and well organised. You had less errors, obviously because you had less pages and less writing, but I can see your English has improved.
I didn’t find any broken links or images.
Overall Comment
Cristina, your site has improved from last time. However I am giving you only another half cookie, because I feel that before, I was being a bit too soft.
I do feel you’ve improved a lot and made your site a lot better. It looks great, your layout is centered and a lot neater (though cutting down the width would be nice), your coding is clean and validated, and you’ve revamped your content as well.
I guess RigRag going down was a real heads up for you! But also unlucky. I moved before they had that problem 
Anyhow, things are looking great Cristina. The suggestions I have are obviously for you to add a bit more content, obviously original and non-celebrity. That’s all you need right now, and I wish you all the best with your site.
