   I want to be able to query my posts by their meta-data.

   For example, I have posts that are being treated as events. These posts have a 'month' variable which I inserted via the 'more fields' plugin.

   This 'month' variable can be filled with values such as: January, February.. etc.

   I want to be able to get all posts that have the month variable equal to some value. Ex.: All posts where month='January'

   Thanks for reading!

   <?php
   $args=array(
     'meta_key'=>'month',
     'meta_value'=> 'January',
     'post_type' => 'post',
     'post_status' => 'publish',
     'posts_per_page' => -1,
     'caller_get_posts'=> 1
   );
   $my_query = null;
   $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
   if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
     echo 'List of Posts';
     while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
       <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
       <?php
     endwhile;
   }
   wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
   ?>

   is it possible to simultaneously query by more than one meta_key ?

   Example: All posts where month='January' and year='2010'

   You'd have to resort to wpdb or retrieve all 2010 posts, then filter for January.
