        <content type="html" xml:base="https://arnesonium.com/2015/01/philalethes-e-bulletin-online-reader/">&lt;p&gt;I began working on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://freemasonry.org/ebulletin/&quot; title=&quot;Philalethes E-Bulletin&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Philalethes E-Bulletin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in the Fall of 2013, and published the first issue in January of 2014. The &lt;em&gt;E-Bulletin&lt;/em&gt; is published quarterly in EPUB and MOBI formats.
&lt;!--more--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Screenshot-from-2014-12-18-214441.png#left&quot; alt=&quot;Philalethes Society Seal&quot; width=&quot;203&quot; height=&quot;171&quot; class=&quot;alignright size-full wp-image-189&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s been a great learning experience. Not only have I learned a lot about editing, but I’ve really had to dive into how electronic publishing works. The intricacies of electronic book formats have become well-known to me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Philalethes Society isn’t entirely comfortable with modern technology, however. Most complaints about the &lt;em&gt;E-Bulletin&lt;/em&gt; came from those who didn’t have e-book readers and weren’t comfortable installing software on their PC to handle a new file format. Because of this, I built an online e-book reader specifically for the &lt;em&gt;E-Bulletin&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The online e-book reader is based around the excellent &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/futurepress/epub.js/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;EPUB.js library&lt;/a&gt;, with additional backend code written in PHP.&lt;/p&gt;

        <content type="html" xml:base="https://arnesonium.com/2014/11/successful-article-symbolism-in-masonic-rings/">&lt;p&gt;I just checked Google Analytics, and over the last 18 months, my online article “Symbolism in Masonic Rings” has had over 6,000 page views. That’s excellent!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’re interested, you can &lt;a href=&quot;http://transformason.org/papers/masonic_rings.html&quot;&gt;read it on Transformason.org&lt;/a&gt;. Please excuse the website. There’s a reason I outsource web design tasks.&lt;/p&gt;</content>
