Greetings to Gentlefolk across the Known World,
Here is a copy of my monthly Florilegium article for April, detailing
what is new in the Florilegium this month.
I have added an RSS feed for the Florilegium website. If you are
already reading RSS feeds, please add the Florilegium RSS feed to
find out when new and updated files as well as new features get added
to the website. If you are unfamiliar with RSS, or Real Simple
Syndication, is a method built into many web browsers as being
available as a separate tool, which lets you find out when the
contents of your favorite websites has been updated or changed. You
can find out more about RSS at this link as well as elsewhere: http://
rss.softwaregarden.com/aboutrss.html If you find this feature
useful, please let me know. I have no way of knowing if you are
finding it useful or not through the system itself.
Like much of the economy, web advertising revenue is down. If you see
an ad on the Florilegium that is even a little interesting to you,
please click on it. The amount that I get for displaying the ads is
highly dependent upon the percentage of people who click on an ad,
and lately the percentages have been well below 1%. Even if you
don't buy anything, each click brings ratings up and increases the
amount of money advertisers are willing to pay for each ad displayed.
I'm trying to keep the amount of advertising as small as I can and as
useful as I can. The more money I can get per ad, the less ads I need
to display to keep the Florilegium running. If folks could get in
the habit of clicking on a single ad each time they visit the
Florilegium, it would be a big help offsetting the costs of the
website and 10+ hours I spend adding to the site each week.
Thanks,
Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present
Over the past nineteen 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 collection of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.
The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org
I have added an RSS feed for the Florilegium website. If you are
already reading RSS feeds, please add the Florilegium RSS feed to
find out when new and updated files as well as new features get added
to the website. If you are unfamiliar with RSS, or Real Simple
Syndication, it is a method built into many web browsers, and also
available as a separate tool, which alerts you when the contents of
your favorite websites have been changed.
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. A&S documentation
and class handouts will also often work out well. I am especially
interested in A&S papers.
