   I wanna show the last posts (2-3 posts with title, content) that have a specific tag = 'mytag'
   so I tried to put this code in a php widget:
   

   <?php
               $query = new WP_Query();
               $query->query('tag=mytag');
           ?>
    <?php echo get_the_title(); ?>
   <?php the_content('Read more...'); ?>

   But it gets the most recent post that also doesn't have any tag...Anyone know why?

   I put the "usage" code and changed the $arg with mytag. The title of the right post is showing up but suddenly the background changed color!?

   <?php
   
   // The Query
   $the_query = new WP_Query( 'tag=casa' );
   
   // The Loop
   while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
   	echo '<li>';
   	the_title();
   	echo '</li>';
   endwhile;
   
   // Reset Post Data
   wp_reset_postdata();
   
   ?>

   Ok it was a HTML/CSS issue, I replaced the
   <li> with <p> and it's fine. Now I want to add some content beyond the title so I started with the excerpt.
   

   <?php
   
   // The Query
   $the_query = new WP_Query( 'tag=casa' );
   
   // The Loop
   while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
   	echo '<p>';
   	the_title();
           the_excerpt();
   	echo '</p>';
   endwhile;
   
   // Reset Post Data
   wp_reset_postdata();
   
   ?>

   I need thumbnail but not sure how to get it. I know how to add everything if I have them outside the php function.
   Like I was trying to do in my firt post above. Is it possible? it will make things much easier as I'm not expert in php
   Thanks
