 * Hi I’m using
 * `<?php get_archives('postbypost', '15'); ?>`
 * To call the last 15 posts in my sidebar, can anyone tell me how to exclude a 
   category, say the category with ID #1.
 * I can do it with wp_get_archive but not with get_achive.
 * Thanks in advance for any help or links to information I’ve missed. 😉 Merry 
   Xmas!

 * This can’t be done with get_archives, I personally use multiple loops to do things
   like this.
