 * Really like your plug in!
 * Question – I need to exclude certain categories from:
    [simple-sitemap-group 
   types=’posts’]
 * How can I do this?

 * Interesting suggestion! You can exclude individual posts via a list of IDs but
   not currently whole categories.
 * I’ll take a look to see if this is easy to add in the short term.

 * Have added this to the plugin to-do list, but may not make it in, in the short
   term. Closing for now.
