   Hi,

   I'm currently creating a number of wordpress informational pages, and would like to attach a number of post entries at the bottom of the page.

   Is this possible?

   Ideally i would like to attach posts from specific tags, does anyone know of any plugins that would achieve this?

   Example:

   Page about Blue Widgets
   blue widget information here etc

   Posts:
   Blue Widgets Are Fun And Cool
   New Blue Widgets Are Now Available

   I don't know of plugins for this, but it is pretty easy to put in a template, just by creating your own loop at the bottom. Something like this is all you need:

   <?php
   $myTaggedPosts = new WP_Query();
   $myTaggedPosts->query('tag=chocolate');
   ?>
   <ul>
   <?php while ($myTaggedPosts->have_posts()): $myTaggedPosts->the_post();?>
   <li><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a></li>
   <?php endwhile;?>
   </ul>

   That's a great help thanks taffeljohan!

   what would be a good solution to achieving this for multiple pages - with multiple tags?

   Using conditionals for the pageID?

   Sounds like a plan, if there aren't too many. Otherwise it will be a pain to hard code everything. Otherwise you could use custom fields on the pages to store parameters (tag names, for instance).

   By the way, it should have been
   $myTaggedPosts->query_posts('tag=chocolate')
   (i left out the _posts part)

   I take back that last correction! There is no query_posts method in WP_Query. I was right the first time.
