Note to readers:I've gone through all the links and have fixed all the broken ones. If you're found some good generators that I don't have, leave a note in the comments and I'll be sure to add that in (and credit you for your efforts!). And if you find broken links, please let me know. Thank you so much! While I'm still getting back on my feet, this week I'll post a couple of my most popular posts.
