There is a page in the Admin section that you use to add a set in. Same for
themes. I have already populated a lot of sets(~650 at last check) into the
database, with a huge thanks to lugnet here. Some users can be given Admin
access so that they can add sets in, but as is, there are only 2 at the moment.
But otherwise, when you add a set into your collection, all you do is click the
set # from a dropdown list, add a lil' more info, and hit submit and it does
the rest.
And to respond here to the other reply also, this is free, Open Source. I will
release the code in the next week, if people want it. If not, I am hosting this
as a service to fellow lego junkies like myself that are interested in piece
counts/set totals/etc./etc. that this webpage provides.
I think it provides an interesting way to compare what you and your
friends/LUGNET users have in your collections.
Any and all suggestions for improvement/ideas/new features/etc. are welcome.
And if people are interested in using the site, from my host, email me at
kleric@tiny.net and I will set up an account for you.
Thanks for the responses, I've spent a lot of time on this and it's good to
know some other people are interested in this.
Thanks.

| (...) <snip> (...) I'm glad to hear you've gotten positive responses. This sounds like a great service, especially when provided for free! I know I'll be setting up an account myself (I'm so lazy, and never bothered tallying up my sets...). -Shiri (24 years ago, 6-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)
