## Description

Adds a simple set of options to modify the default query. Be careful, this affects
all list type
 pages on the site and not just the home page.

You can:

 * Customise the post types used
 * Exclude terms from any taxonomy
 * Change the ordering
 * Set an offset to skip posts
 * Turn paging off
 * Use a simple meta query

Any problems, bugs or feature requests will be answered the quickest on twitter
