Since Small Basic has moved to Tech Community, I was trying to rewrite Small Basic program to get article list. But Tech Community blog can't be read by using Network.GetWebPageContents operation. The reason may be security. So I started to write PowerShell script to get article list. Then I created three new tools for new Small Basic Blog.

Convert-BlogUrl.ps1

The first one is URL converter from MSDN blog to Tech Community blog. I used this tool to update a TechNet Wiki article "Small Basic Blog: Index".

Get-TechCommunityArticleList.ps1

The second one is to get article list from Tech Community blog and convert them to an PowerShell object.

Get-Calendar.ps1

The third one is generate HTML calendar from the article object. Using the output of this tool, I created a new TechNet Wiki article "Small Basic Blog: Archive 2019".

I think PowerShell script is another language which should learn after learing Small Basic. Thanks.
