Anyone knows the Do's & Dont's of Taoism, what do they practice and what they not wish to practice? Something to do with their superstitions and customs.

Well, mostly I'd say there are no do's or don't.
Check out Stephen Mitchell's version, I refer to it almost every day.

That depends. Do you mean real Taoism or the fruity pseudo-taoism so popular in the states amongst people who read the Tao Te Ching and maybe one or two other works, and declare themselves to be Taoists out of nothing else than sheer intellectual laziness?
Real Taoism is a very, very complex religious tradition that can't be adequately explained by anyone without a Ph.D. in Chinese religion.

1 thing i know about taoism is to keep things a secret if it is heaven's secrets unless you are sure heaven wants the secret to be known.

Real Taosim cant be defined in such simple talking points as "dos" and "donts". In fact like zen, as soon as you try to define it, you loose the meaning. Like trying to catch the wind. If you catch it it seizes to be wind.
