Be careful with these robots.txt suggestions.

Disallowing your css/js files in your robots.txt is probably not a good idea - Matt Cutts said as much himself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNEipHjsEPU

If you're running Wordpress, disallowing your /uploads/ directory will nuke your Google Image Search prospects, as Googlebot won't be able to crawl any of your images to begin with.

Also, submitting to a paid directory such as Best of the Web or the Yahoo! Directory would be a much better use of your time. DMOZ is still a valuable directory (for a lot of reasons), but the likelihood is small that they will review, let alone add your site to the directory in a timely manner (if ever).

A few other things worth doing: - Create a Twitter account for your site. - Create a Facebook page for your site.

Indeed. Blocking JS and CSS from all robots will also cause your site to render poorly in most web archives, like the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
