[Ansteorra] Stefan's Florilegium updates for July 2010

Thu Jul 8 00:24:04 PDT 2010

Greetings to the Gentles of Known World,

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

I am always looking for good articles for the Florilegium. If you have researched a little known subject in our period or you practice a little known art or craft, writing an article is an excellent way to introduce others to the work you've done. I'm especially interested in academic papers written for A&S contests because, unfortunately, few have time at such an event to read them. Even the judges. Getting them published in the Florilegium lets your hard word benefit the entire Known World.  

If you are a newsletter editor and would like to get a copy of this monthly article for your print newsletter several weeks before I post it to the mail lists, please contact me. If you publish a newsletter on the web, I also have a version of this article which includes the links for each file. If you would like to get on my list for the web version of this article, please email me. I've not been producing this version since it didn't seem anyone was using it, but if there is a desire for it, I can produce it again.

I also send this monthly article to the Ansteorra and Outlands Editor's list. If there are any other such kingdom mail lists for editors that might welcome me posting this letter there in advance to it being sent to the kingdom lists, please let me know.

If you would like a quick and easy way to know when any files have been updated or a new file has been added to the Florilegium, then subscribe to the Florilegium RSS feed. Most of the modern browsers now support this feature. If you do use this service, I'd appreciate a quick email letting me know. It takes a fair amount of time to create these and I have no way of knowing whether this feature is being used or not.

Please support the Florilegium so I can keep it online by clicking on any ads that look interesting to you. The amount advertisers are willing to pay is affected by the number of 'clicks' they get. Unfortunately, the ad revenue has been falling, even though more files are getting added each month.  So if you enjoy the Florilegium and find it useful, please get in the habit of clicking on an ad each time you are there. It really makes a big difference in the ad income and thus the ability to keep the Florilegium site going.

Thanks,
Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past twenty 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 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.

Advertisements on the site pay for its upkeep. If you enjoy the Florilegium, please click on an ad or two each time you are there.
