[Artemisia] FW: Stefan's Florilegium files for March

[Caointiarn]

Greetings to folks across the Known World,

Here is a copy of my monthly Florilegium article for March, 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.   
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 you will be attending Gulf Wars in a week or so, I will be  
teaching my class on the Florilegium twice and my hands-on pewter  
casting class twice. Please feel free to come by and say hello or  
find me in the Barony of Bryn Gwlad campsite opposite the Ansteorra  
gate.

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 as they  
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 updated.

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.
