   Currently I'm able to pull the latest two posts onto my static front page like this...

   <?php
   $args = array( 'numberposts' => 2, 'order'=> 'DESC', 'orderby' => 'post_date' );
   $postslist = get_posts( $args );
   
   foreach ($postslist as $post) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>
     <p>
       <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?>
     </p>
     <h5>
       <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">
         <?php the_title(); ?>
       </a>
     </h5>
     <div>
       <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
     </div>
   <?php endforeach;
   
   ?>

   That all works well - it displays the date, title link, excerpt and More link for the latest two posts.

   However, I'm looking for a way to prevent any posts that have been tagged with the word 'exclude' from displaying in this area. Does anyone know if there is a way to tweak the above code to accommodate that? Or is there a better way of achieving it?

   (I've been playing around with tag__not_in but that seems to be something to do with WP_Query and I can't work out how to incorporate it.)

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
