Turn Your Picture Into a Pirate<\/h1>\n

\"Nancy\"nancyThis site<\/a> lets you upload a head shot of yourself, or link to one on Facebook, and it turns you into a pirate. You can see what that will look like on the left. You can then use the image in various places.<\/p>\n

If you know how to work any type of graphic software, you can do it yourself using clipart. That’s what I did for my Facebook avatar for the day. You can see that image on the right.<\/p>\n
