> 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

> 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

> 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.
