<p>I looked for a plugin the other day to generate a proper Google News sitemap. Unfortunately, most of them were either not working, premium plugins or too bloated.<br />
After looking for a good while and testing a handful of plugins, I set out to make a plugin that is compatible with recent Google News additions, including the possibility to specify many parameters manually.</p>
<p>I hope to maintain this plugin throughout 2014 and 2015 and add a few more features. If there are any bugs please report them so they can be fixed with the next release.</p>
<h4>Some of the new features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Provide publication name manually – if you don’t want it to be your Homepage name</li>
<li>Provide site language using Google’s language codes</li>
<li>Provide related stock tickers manually</li>
<li>Rather than excluding categories, this plugin allows you to include categories only</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why You Should Include Only A Few Categories</h4>
<p>Google is very picky about what sites they include. If you create a sitemap that is fetching content from your entire site, you won’t get accepted.</p>
<p>It is a far better idea to create a “News” and “Opinion Piece” category</p>
<h4>What features will you add in the next version</h4>
<p>Next on the list are additional genres: Opinion Piece, Op/Ed and other genres accepted by Google.</p>
<h4>How do I avoid my blog from dropping out of Google News</h4>
