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.

This is cool.  Does it already know the details of the sets or do you have to
enter that when you enter your inventory?  The idea of a simple interface to
tally up the number of pieces I have is very interesting.

Hi.
What happens when you combine a computer geek and a lego geek?
I create this:
http://208.42.18.126/lego/index.php3

Its a database driven website for keepin' track of your collection of legos.
There are a set of admin pages used for adding • users/themes/sets/links/managing
your collection/etc. for each individual user.
There is also a place for set inventories, for those people that want/use • that
too.
It runs off of Apache and PHP, on a Linux box.
I plan on releasing the source code sometime in the next week, if there's
interest in it.

And I guess what the point of this whole post is: Is there interest in this • for
other users at my site, or creating their own sites, or should I just go back
to my happy little programming cave and leave it for myself? :)

Comments and suggestions gleefully accepted.
Any other questions I may not have covered welcome too.
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)
