hmm, maybe there is a redirect in your .htaccess file? just a guess.

I think that’s what you want:
<?php wp_list_pages ('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&exclude=228&title_li='); ?>

sorry, i should have checked back. another solution for multiple excludes would be by using the ‘or’

if ($cat->cat_ID != '1' || $cat->cat_ID != '2') {

|| = or

Removing unwanted cats
replace the the_category function with the code below
(1234 being the unwanted category.)

<?php
foreach((get_the_category()) as $cat) {
if ($cat->cat_ID != "1324") {
echo '| <a href="?cat=' . $cat->cat_ID . '">' .
$cat->cat_name . '</a> ';
}
}
?>
