I can suggest you to replace "Don't" with "Avoid". That's only my recommendation.... Take it or leave it.

To my mind a blog that doesn't allow comments isn't really a blog. The whole point of a blog is to encourage discussion. Allowing comments is what sets blogs apart from "regular" websites.

Make people want to visit your website by really clicking around the blog to visit other areas. I think it is always important to include some call to action items on the blog.

The things I like and I wish everyone should opt for are, "Do play above the fold", "Don’t forget about usability", "Integrating social profiles" and "Do encourage comments" Those are surely nice ideas.

Most people are after trust of a business before they open their wallets. If you've gained the trust of someone don't lose a potential prospect if a user goes to your site and isn't sure if it's your site or someone elses. I think usability and design come hand in hand and comments.. my goodness - I just don't understand why a blog would not have comments? I've always said - a blog is nothing without the people. With no-one to engage with your content how do you know what you're saying is of any value to anyone? Sarge | BeginnerBlogger.com Nice header image and great post ;)
