where's the ot tip? ;^)

thanks for the question and answer.  i make an attempt at web design and 
know squat about programming, but i'm feeling the call.  some may say 
i'm hearing a bit late in life, but i need to do web developing, not 
necessarily because i want to, but i have to for survival.

i began as a wysiwyger and have been using css for almost a year.  a 
couple of months ago i had an epiphany on css and i have had a pretty 
good handle on it since.  i don't know all the ins and outs, but i can 
use it to design a page.

i have become interested in using a cms.  again, i'm no programmer, but 
i know that to use this i have to learn programming.  see what i mean by 
survival?  this is all new and exciting to me and i hope i have the 
patience to hang on for the ride.

i appreciate the lists i am on for all of the things that i have been 
learning.  this list is usually so far over my head that i seem so 
small, but i know that when i do take the plunge i will have help as i 
muddle through trying to make sense of what i'm doing.

with much appreciation,
dwain

i don't have much knowledge about much of what is happening here so i 
don't have much for a tip.  i don't even know how to format it properly.
anyway:

<tip>the truth is the truth is the truth;
if a=b, then b=a. if a=b=c, then c=b=a.
the truth is true for everyone and every situation.
it is so from left to right, right to left, top to bottom
and bottom to top.  mathematics is the truth, even in
those equations that don't work out.
positives and negatives always agree and disagree.</tip>
