Choose posts with a particular tag rather than category?

Hi. Thanks for the fantastic plugin. It’s been enormously useful.

I have one question. You’ve written it so we can specify which categories we want the post list to come from – or we can choose which categories to exclude. Is there a way of making it include (or exclude) specific tags instead?

I experimented with switching ‘tag’ for ‘category’ in sfpw.php, thinking I could use the tag ID instead of the category ID, but I guess it’s not that simple. (Entering tag IDs in the field in the widget area resulted in no posts getting listed at all.) Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Chris
