#2There is only one thing on the list that is not completely obvious -- dmoz still matters. Is it possible? Sure, it's a valuable list of sites touched by a lot of care and bureaucracy, but does anybody who wasn't online 10 years ago know about it?

#3As someone just starting up their first website (http://wayofthescholar.com), there's a lot of helpful material here, and a lot I still need to work through.
Although each item may be obvious and discussed in greater depth a thousand other places, a list is sometimes really helpful.

I can't imagine Google pays much attention to this anymore. Many of the categories have near absent editors and it can take over 6 months to be added.

Yeah, God forbid you should number your main points.
Seriously, what is the problem with a list post? Yes, it's a hook. Why is that a problem?

#7I would also redirect my feeds/rss to FeedBurner, just to have an idea the number of subscribers I might have, and which are the more popular items people read about me.

Personally, I don't really think there's anything wrong with a "x tips for y" title, but it does go against the submission guidelines for HN:
If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."
I think the point of the guideline is to keep things fact-oriented here, and to keep the amount of sensationalism, hyperbole, and "link-baiting" on HN to a minimum.
