 * Hi and thanks for a great plugin.
    I note on a default install there is a warning
   in Google webmaster tools “Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.
   txt.” due to the default block on wp-content directory, where Google wants to
   crawl images.
 * Of course the easy solution is to take out the wp-content block from robots.txt
   but I wanted to ask the thinking behind including it in the first place. Is it
   best practice? Should we allow google to crawl there?
 * Thanks – Brian.
