Profile+Picture

You can change the profile picture on your wiki as long as it is NOT a picture of you! You can use a picture of your dog or even a flower from your garden as long as you are not in it. Below is a list of free Avatar generators that will let you create an Avatar in your likeness that is also an option for you to use. Have fun! Just a reminder that you are **NOT allowed to change your username or password** on this wiki. The directions for adding the avatar to your wiki profile are at the bottom of the page.
