[Artemisia] FW: Stefan's Florilegium article for February

Thu Feb 12 07:58:24 CST 2009

Greetings to the Gentles across the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for February, 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 as they 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

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. Even if you don't buy anything, each click brings in a miniscule amount
of money to the Florilegium and helps me keep this site online.

If you are going to Gulf Wars this year, please drop by the Barony of Bryn
Gwlad camp and say hi. I will also be teaching two sessions of my hands-on
pewter casting class and my class on the Florilegium, so you can also find
me on Artisan's Row or in the class tents.

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 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.
