This is pretty good stuff. My wife is an Art Professor who's trying to learn basic web-design so she is eligible to teach it to Art students. The schools mostly use Dream Weaver and Muse (both from Adobe) and to be honest I think its a good idea (Though I've convinced her that the first few weeks they should go through codecademy's HTML lessons so they at least have an idea about how HTML and CSS works). I feel like web design is mostly a solved problem. These do's and don'ts highlight the fact that we know what the heck a web site should do, and there's so much crappy experiments to try and make it more that what it is. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for innovation, but sometimes I enjoy turning javaScript off and seeing how much easier life is by being able to just read the text without being assaulted by shitty attention grabbing cruft. If you're a web dev, I suggest you spend an afternoon each week turning off JS and seeing what it's like.
