I may have missed it, but I'm pretty sure this did NOT appear on the Merry
Rose this month

 Greetings to the Gentles of Known World,
 
 Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for August 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.
 
 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. At around a half
dozen
 ad clicks a day, that is barely enough to keep the 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.
 
 The Florilegium now has an RSS feed for those who want an immediate alert
when
 new or updated files are uploaded to the website.
 
 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.
