				  'change_frequency' => 'weekly',
				  'priority'         => '0.95'
			)
		);
        
        return $this->response($this->generator->generate());
    }
    
    public function posts()
    {
        $posts = Post::all();
        
        foreach($posts as $post)

    				  'priority'         => '0.90'
    			);
                
            if ($images):
    			$element['images'] = array();
				foreach ($images as $image):
					$element['images'][] = $image->url();
				endforeach;
			endif;
            
            $this->generator->addRaw($element);
        }
        
        return $this->response($this->generator->generate());
    }
