   I have created template pages which I want to be filled in by the use of posts identified by tags. Works perfectly by using

   global $post;
   $postsByTag = get_posts('tag=hnwtag&numberposts=4');
   
   foreach($postsByTag as $post) {
    setup_postdata($post);
    echo '<a href="'. get_permalink().'">'. get_the_title().'</a><br />'.get_the_excerpt().'</a><br />';
   }
   if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
    endwhile; else: ?>
   <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
   <?php endif; ?>

   I don't want loads of tags messing up tag clouds, though, so have created a new taxonomy to deal with this, but how can I display the post contents in my template pages via this new taxonomy? Been on this for HOURS!!! Any pointers GREATLY appreciated!!! The new taxonomy is called 'profile', and has tags in it including 'name' and 'school'.

   Try it with this:
   

   $args = array(
       'tax_query' => array(
         array(
         'taxonomy' => 'profile',
         'field' => 'slug',
         'terms' => array('name','school')
         )
       )
     );
     $postsByTag = get_posts($args);

   get_posts() makes use of the WP_Query class to fetch posts.
