   Hi
   I am fairly new to WP and PHP so please forgive my lack of knowledge; Bascailly I've been setting up template pages to show posts which have been tagged with certain tags;

   It looks like I've got working; however what I need to do now is the opposite; to exclude posts containing certain tags; I have paasted the current code which includes certain tagged posts here, can anyone suggest how to modify it to exclude them;
   Thanks for your help
   Darren

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Helens Posts
   */
   get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="content_box">
   	<div id="content" class="posts">
   	<?php
   $term = get_term_by('slug','helen', 'post_tag');
   $args=array(
     'tag__in' => array($term->term_id),
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'posts_per_page' => -1,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
   
   while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
   <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   <h4><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?><!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --> &middot; <a>#comments"><?php comments_number('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></a> &middot; <?php if (!is_attachment()) { the_category(', '); } ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ' &middot;', ''); ?></h4>
   <div class="entry">
   					<?php the_content('<p>Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</p>'); ?>
   					<?php link_pages('<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', '</p>', 'number'); ?>
   				</div><?php if (!is_attachment()) { ?><p class="tagged"><strong>Tags:</strong> <?php the_tags('','&middot;',''); ?></p><?php } ?>
   <div class="clear"></div>
   <?php
     endwhile;
   }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>	
   
    </div>
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   </div>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   You only have to change the array key from tag__in to tag__not_in.
   

   $term = get_term_by( 'slug', 'exclude', 'post_tag' );
   $args = array(
   	'tag__not_in' => array( $term->term_id ),
   	'post_type' => 'post',
   	'post_status' => 'publish',
   	'posts_per_page' => -1,
   	'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );

   Hey, anyone know how I'd modify this to exclude 2 different tags?

   Nevermind, I figured it out :D

   $term = get_term_by('slug','blog', 'post_tag');
   $term2 = get_term_by('slug','gallery', 'post_tag');
   $args=array(
     'tag__not_in' => array($term->term_id, $term2->term_id),
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'numberposts'=>20,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
