[Ansteorra-announce] Stefan's files for October

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to folks across the Known World,

Here is a copy of my monthly article for October detailing what is new
in my Florilegium files.

I also produce a version of this article meant for web publication. If
you run an SCA website and think you would like to recieve this article
monthly for display on your website, please contact me.

If you are on another mail list that you think would like to receive
this monthly article, please let me know and give me the necessary
addresses and info to send this article to that list and I will
consider it.

We've added a search engine, reachable from the front page of the
Florilegium site. Please let us know if you find this useful or
any other comments or suggestions you might have about the website.

Stefan

-------------------------------------
A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past eleven years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting
bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and
articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make this
information available to others, I have placed this information in
a series of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

Files that are new or have been updated are indicated by a special
marker in the filelists at the website. In addition, the file
-updated-files is a listing of these files in chronological order.

A copy of my complete filelist is available in most sections of the
website. This filelist or any of my files is also available from me
by email in either Word or text formats.

If you find a bad link or other problem with the Florilegium website,
please let me know. Once I know about a problem I can usually fix it
that day but if no one alerts me to a problem it may be months before
I notice it myself.

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article
that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me
for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for more details.
