Not completely true. There are other, albeit smaller, galleries, like
1000steine.de and the fbtb.net customs page. There are also major Lego
builders who don't post to Brickshelf--for instance, I don't think that Eric
Harshberger posts there.

I just wanted to get some feedback on this. I'm in the midst of
reorganizing my brickshelf account. It seemed like a redundancy to have
everything both on my website and on brickshelf, so I cleaned out most of my
brickshelf account. Now I'm going through and putting up folders
corresponding to each subsection of my website and putting a few pics in
each folder to give a taste of what is on my website, and including a
"please visit www.ozbricks.net/bricktales for more" message in each folder.
In addition I'm putting in a "website updates" folder, and each time I put
new things on my own site, I'll put a few pics in that folder, with a
pointer to my website. That way a sort of announcement will show up on the
brickshelf "recent" page that points to my new content.
I thought that by doing this I could perhaps use a little less bandwidth on
Brickshelf. Not that I'm more than a drop in the bucket, but I think if a
lot of people with their own sites would use brickshelf more as a pointer to
their own places it might make a difference. This would maintain the value
of having one place where you could get a feel for all of the new things on
the web, but it might cut down on the sheer volume of data passed back and
forth across brickshelf every day.
