At first I was thinking, what language is this? I can't possibly review a site fairly if I can't read it, and then I saw the cute little flags :D
Okay, moving on... Your layout has a nice touch, I don't know if it's the small & simple (but still nice) layout or the orignal looking CSS.
Your blog is quite interesting, but it takes a bit of scrolling to find the blog itself, I'm glad your writing is legible because most people these days speak and write in msn speak.
Well, let's talk about your site name. Pajamas Party, it seems a little cliche at first but then it become catchy which is always good because it will keep your visitors coming back. It's quite good that you named your site after something to do with your culture, if I attemted to make my site seem like my homeland Australia I'd probably end up with a site name about kangaroos o.O
Your content......
The icons certainly beat the pants off the ones I have offered on my site, lots of them are different and each sort of show a "mood of the scene" I don't know how to explain it, each icon makes me feel different to the previous, I don't know if it's just me or something.
The blends are amazing, I can't say more.
The tutorials are quite well written and you should add more.
That's enough about the content.
Overall: Really you should change what you're linked under, personal possibly; Graphics maybe; Tutorials maybe. This site has a nice touch and you should try more ways to get hits because I'm sure people would want to come back again and again, maybe that frontpage in another language might be turning ignorant people off, but genuine visitors will look for the translator like I did.

Hello again, and thank-you for asking me to take a look at your new layout. Ok, my first impression is that it looks a bit jagged, but very layered. I personally do not find jagged images appealing, but it does show you are quite talented... and there for I will not comment too much on it.Coding of your new layout:
I notice you use some elements of CSS in your normal coding, which you should only use CSS in a sylesheet, because it is easier to edit. I'll just run your coding through the validator now. Ok... my idea of really good coding is the least amount of errors you can get it down to. You have 266 errors. What I suggest is to run it through HTML tidy, which may help you. Try using tutorialtastic to help you with coding. Other than that, I like the design of your new layout and look foward to coming back soon.I hope that didn't sound to harsh :)

on 5th Dec 2008 and said:Design/Layout: I am greeted with a very clean and easy on the eyes layout, well done. I love the color scheme you chose, but I feel in some areas they are being misused. For example, the navigation. It's a tad hard to read the text on the pastel-ish blue and orange. When using such soft light colors, you need a hard solid color to work with it, or it's hard to see. I would suggest a darker more SOLID color.
In your side bar, you have a category called "Wishlist and Days". From the looks of the list it's a bunch of books and their authors. What does the "days" part have to do with it? Maybe I'm missing something, but if you only have books, then I'm sure the Days part can go away.
My only other "issue" would be the title at the top. I feel it's beginning squished at the top. Maybe giving it some room to breath would be nice? Of course this is just my personal opinion. Other than that, love the design, very clean and organized.
Pages:
About Webmiss: This page is a quite messy in the "English" translation of your site. Checking it out in the (I'm going to take stab here) "Portuguese" version. You have some information here that I think doesn't really need to be here or would interest anyone. That being the appointments calender at the bottom of the page. No offense, but other then yourself, who would pay attention to this?
Your one-liner about yourself is a little disappointing. When I go to an About Me page, I want to read more ABOUT YOU! Not three or two words that describe your personality. That's no fun and tells me nothing but something I'm sure 1,000 other people have in common with you! Don't be afraid to write out a little history about yourself!
The "where you can find me" section for the English version doesn't make sense in the least, looking it over in the Portuguese version, it looks neat, but the "Wishlist" header is falling to the right of it in both versions. I would see what's wrong with this and fix it!
Download the Goodies: Organized and clean. The only problem I see is the links on this page are hard read on that "brown" box. I noticed that on a few of your pages you have comments enabled. I don't think anyone will comment on most of these and see no point and having it enabled. Disable it or get rid of the coding. You're using WordPress, correct? You can do this by going into each page in the dashboard and clicking on the "Allow Comments" radio button, this will disable it if it is checked.
In the avatar section, I see you break it up into two pages, I feel that you can have less avatars showing on one page then you do now. Possibly 5-10 at a time.
"Plaquinhas" if the page does not exist yet, then don't link to it!
Your tutorials page is messy in both language translations. The Header "SEO" isn't pushing below the links and is messing everything up.
Contact Me Now: This page is all fine and dandy, although fix the text box for the messages. It needs to be dropped down one line.
About Domain: Clean and to the point. Great idea for the site's name by the way! =D
I'm Here Thanks: I'm going to assume this page is dedicated to credits and resources, correct? Well I would suggest calling something else as the title is VERY misleading and doesn't make sense.
Coding/HTML/CSS: It's a little messy, but nothing is too out of place. I can see that you have some inline styles going on, but I think its coming from a plugin? So I won't talk to much about that as you have no control over that.
As for the header names not dropping down a line, there are a number of reasons why this code me happening. One being when you edit the page in WordPress you are using the HTML mode and not dropping a line when writing out the text. I know sounds odd, but WordPress has done this to me before. Other then that, all I can think of is the style you have going on with your links or you're not making the "headers" as header tags:
h1, h2, h3Which you should be using and usually has an automatic space above and below the text. Be sure to look into this.Overall for being a "personal" site, I feel it's lacking A LOT. You have more for the visitor then you do about yourself! That's the basis for a personal website! Add more about yourself, what you like, what you like to do and any special hobbies you have. That's originality right there! With that, I'm sure your site will be great in not time! Good luck. =D

For the avatar page, what I meant was that you should so atleast 5 to 10 avatars on one page and then create another with 5 to 10 more on that page. I notice that you did this, but you have too many on one page and it defeats the purpose a little.Hopefully that makes more sense. ;)
BTW: The navigation looks the same to me? =(

verarorato's Response:
Hey Roxy. Well, thanks!
I liked you suggestions about the navigation menu. I'll correct it.
About the "wishlist and days", It has called like that because i'll put my "agenda" or my days there. ok?
About the pages: I'm orgazing the pages, and soon it will be finished.
I'm sorry about the **** translation. It's one more thing to my list.
About the css, I'll see it, too! =D
Thanks, one more time!
