The best way is to download a free photo program, like Kodak's Easyshare, Picasa2 or photofiltre.

As long as you can adjust the saturation (set it to -100) and levels where you can adjust the black threshold, white threshold and mid-tones you are good to go.

You may want to consider buying Photoshop Elements so you can have some consistant control ala Photoshop but over $600 less expensive.

Check out http://www.picnik.com/app. That should do it ;)

Forget using a web site, just download a free photo manipulation program such as those already suggested or Gimp http://gimp.org/ any of which can easily convert to B&W and a whole lot more besides.
