Nice Job, Salsa.
You don't want to move up in stakes just yet. At the top of the "Beginner's Circle" page is a STICKY about Bankroll. http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...pic.php?t=4971
To play NL hold'em comfortably you want to have at least 20 buy-ins available to you. But you also want to set yourself some limits on how many buyins you are willing to play with in one day or one week. The big thing about poker is variance. If you are short in the BR, one downswing can take you out.
That said...you need to get your BR up. CON has a bonus everyone raves about. Now there you'd have to play blackjack (this is a casino, not a poker room), but could add $200+ to your roll with no risk. Read: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...pic.php?t=7994
Disclaimer: I've not done this yet. Ask eeeee, or boon, or triptanes about it.
Party has some great bonuses too, but they're soooo juicy you don't want to use them up without getting the maximum bonus allowed (20% up to $100 means you need a $500 roll). Also beware: most sites do not have the .02, .05, and .10 tables available at Paradise. Party's minimum NL game is $25 with blinds .10/.25. You are not properly bankrolled for that game yet. Though I'm not saying that game will be much tougher than the .10 games at Paradise.
I might almost recommend staying where you're at for awhile and just winning money straight up there.
Welcome aboard, Salsa. Post more specific questions and we'll get you pointed the right direction.
