Updated the theme causing issue with xml in blogger

Changed the theme because I can,
forgot to check my customisation that I put in before
google's code says use

<script src="https://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/loader/run_prettify.js?lang=css&skin=sunburst"></script>

which causes a xml error where the delimiter ; is missing

change
& to &amp;

<pre><script src="https://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/loader/run_prettify.js?lang=css&amp;skin=sunburst"></script>
</pre>

$tango=(Get-Acl "AD:$((Get-ADUser tango).distinguishedname)").access | select identityreference, accesscontroltype
$cash=(Get-Acl "AD:$((Get-ADUser cash).distinguishedname)").access | select identityreference, accesscontroltype
compare $tango $cash

still couldn't get to root cause of the issue.(automated system cant update account)

IIS Logs (from friend)

Purpose:                              Removes IIS log files older than 30 days and sets the compress switch on all files older than 3 days. This is to save space on the log drive and

                automatically manage IIS log file retention on Exchange CAS servers.

# Variables

$dateNow = (Get-Date).ToString("HHmm_ddMMyyyy")

$deleteDate = (Get-Date).addDays(-30)

$CompressDate = (Get-Date).addDays(-3)

#MAIN SCRIPT

# Cleanup IIS files older than 30days old

Get-ChildItem D:\IIS_Logs -Recurse | where {$_.CreationTime -le $deleteDate -and $_.Attributes -notlike "*Directory*"} | Remove-Item -force

# Compress IIS files created more than 3days ago (omit Directories)
