I want to teach myself to play the piano, but do you have any tips for me?
Or any website with tips. 
First of all, I’d like to say that it is a wonderful thing you desire to learn a musical instrument, for music is truly the only universal language. Teaching yourself will be a big challenge, and you must have the willpower to continue trying even when you want to quit. I used to play piano, but I never connected with it, and I regret not being able to play. However, I’ve been teaching myself how to play guitar for almost 2 years now, and there are some tried and true ways of getting better.
Number 1: This is the most important thing you can do when learning an instrument: Practice! You will never get better if you don’t practice, so be sure to set strict goals for yourself, and stick to them.
Number 2: Set time out of each day (at least an hour) to practice, and stick to it. If necessary, move the time you play to fit your schedule.
Number 3: Persistence. While practice may be the most important thing needed for improvement, persistence is the root of mastering anything new. Never give up on your goal, and always remind yourself that you may not be good now, but you will be soon.
Here is a website you might be interested in that offers free piano lessons for all skill levels: http://www.gopiano.com/
I hope this has helped, and that you fulfill your dream. Take care and God Bless!

If it’s a cost thing, then ask a local school teacher – they often will give a couple of free lessons.
The problem with teaching yourself is that you don’t realize when you are making mistakes, and when you do, there is no one there to help you correct it.
If you simply want to learn the basics, there are some free "getting started lessons" here: http://www.learnpianoonline.com/main/aboutus.html
