Right now there are over 7,400 traders and over 37,000 chips, strikes, tokens, etc are listed on the www.CollectionLibrary.com site!

If you are an active member of the club, you too can have a FREE website whereby you can list your collection and/or traders. I do all the hosting for you for FREE. All you have to do is register for the service and start using it!

HOW IT WORKS:
=============
I have written a very simple to use software program that allows create and update your very own personal website. These websites are hosted on my web server.

This "Admin Utility" has two different features to it:

• Registration: First it allows you to register for a website. As soon as you have completed the registration, you will have a personal website. It's as simple as that!

• Maintain your website: You will also use the "Admin Utility" to make changes to your website. You can put text on your home page to tell others about yourself. The Admin Utility allows you to add items to your collection database. Each item can be published to your collection list, trader list, want list or not published at all. All items which are published to your website are also published to the global Collection Library website. There is an advanced search option from the Collection Library website whereby other users can search for specific items for trade.

You can change the look/theme of your website by changing the template. You can also further customize your website by uploading your own personal images to four different home page zones.
