Unfortunately, some blogs or websites that I like to read do not offer e-mail notifications when there are new posts or articles. However, since most websites provide an RSS feed, I have created a small PowerShell script that sends an e-mail when there is new content.

In the script itself, only the corresponding RSS feeds and the e-mail settings have to be stored. I think the settings are self-explanatory:
The script can be executed via task scheduling, here is an example:
