I had a cool two-paragraph explanation all typed up–then Live Writer crashed.  :/

Anyway, here’s a little script which takes advantage of the OPML export feature of Bloglines to give you a table of all of the Powershell-related blogs I follow.  You may find some good resources in here.

Without further ado, the script:

param ( $Title )

$webClient = new-object System.Net.WebClient

$OpmlUrl = "http://bloglines.com/export?id=halr9000"

[xml]$Opml = $webClient.DownloadString($OpmlUrl)

$PsBlogroll = $Opml.opml.body.outline | Where-Object { $_.text -eq '@Powershell' }

$Output = $PsBlogroll | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Outline | Select-Object Title, htmlUrl, xmlUrl

if ( $Title ) { $Output | Where-Object { $_.title -match $Title } }

else { Write-Output $Output }

If you run it like so: "Get-PsBlogroll | select title,xmlurl | out-gridview" (out-gridview comes with the PowerShell V2 CTP), the end result looks like so:
