[Ansteorra-announce] Stefan's files for June

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to the gentles of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my monthly article detailing what is new in the 
Florilegium this month.

You will find that the HTML version of most of the new and updated 
files for this month and last are much better formatted than the 
previous files. I have also added some new features such as making the 
list of related files at the top of most files into HTML links and 
changing any links in the files to pickable HTML links.  I have also 
instituted some primative anti-spam harvesting measures with folks' 
email addresses. These improvements have been made through recreating 
my programs which translate the rather ugly Word generated HTML code 
into something better for this use. The original version of this 
program was lost in my disk crash last year.

For those who might be interested, sine of the web statistics for the 
Florilegium site can now be found at this link:
http://www.timecastle.net/stats/florilegium.org/

Reading the statistics on this page you can see that over 500 different 
web browsers were used to access the Florilegium site in a month. There 
is no way I can test the Florilegium site or the HTML code generated by 
my new program with all of these browsers. So, if you find a problem 
with the new file formatting, please let me know and tell me any 
details I can use to track down the problem.

Please feel free to let your local newsletter editor know of this 
monthly article. I send out this article to the print editors on my 
list several weeks before I send this out to electronic publications so 
they can meet their various publication deadlines. They simply need to 
contact me and provide some info if they wish to be added.

If you have any suggestions for improvement of the site or the HTML 
code which my program generates, please let me know either my email or 
perhaps at Pennsic.

Thanks,
    Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past fourteen 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

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.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping 
me maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials, 
editing and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more 
details.
