 * Good morning/arvo/eve,
 * I would like to create a “Sitemap” of my blog.
 * I have created a page called “sitemap”, and have a plugin which allows me to 
   embed php code directly into pages/posts.
 * Now I require the php code which will enable me to list every single post as 
   a hyperlink, ordered by category.
 * **For example:**
 * > Category #1
   >  Post #1a Post #1b Category #2 Post #2a Post #2b Post #2c etc etc
 * I would also like to know how to exclude particular categories.

 * I had trouble finding the answer to this one but finally did. Here is the code
   to list posts by category in your sidebar:
 *  ‘<!–Show posts by category–>
    <?php if (in_category(‘4’)) : ?> <?php $my_query
   = new WP_Query(‘cat=4&showposts=15’); ?> <?php while ($my_query->have_posts()):
   $my_query->the_post(); ?>
    - <br/>
    -  <?php endwhile; ?>
    -  <?php endif; ?>
       <!–End Show posts by category–> ‘
