I'll take a crack at it. Though I am glad that someone Portuguese "likes this blog very much and finds this post very interesting" (Gostei muito desse post e seu blog é muito interessante), I do not recommend visiting this person's site (passada lá no meu site) which is hosted on Crescenet (que é sobre o CresceNet.) I have never visited the site and have no knowledge of its content! I also declare that I have no intention of hugging this person(Um abraço), at least not at first.

Although said person claims to visit this site often (vou passar por aqui sempre),I think this is more likely one of those automated posts intended to drive people to visit a website. This message might therefore be an example of why some blogs require typing in strange passwords before posting.

However, if this is not Portuguese and is actually Esperanto or some such, well then I have no idea what is being said here and that would change everything!I would therefore apologize to anyone in the world that I may have have offended by my insensitive confusion of languages.

Cheers,
BC+

PS. But I am still not going to hug anyone (No abraco!;-)

Since the very learned BC thought it was Portuguese, BC might also remember that we're in luck because I have very authoritative sources close at hand. My aunt looked at the text, verified the language as Brazilian Portuguese, translated, & added a few observations for our enlightenment. The translation: "I really liked this post, and your blog is very interesting; I will come by here often :) When you have time, look at my site, which is about the CresceNet. I hope you like it. The address of it is http://provedorcrescenet.com. A hug" (this is a casual "Bye for now" sign-off for a Brazilian)

Observation: CresceNet and http://provedorcrescenet.com are both in Brazilian Portuguese, offering to pay people for surfing the Internet. I didn't find names of any individuals at either site. Yes, it very well could be an automated post -- written to sound very chatty -- to direct people to their own sites, but since both of those are in Portuguese, they wouldn't be very interesting to Americans, unless they had a site in English!
