   hello everyone
   i have tried to handle this myself by reading lots of documentation but i seem not to be able to solve it, so here i am asking for some help.

   i am trying to create a page that will show all the posts that have a certain tag, like "vacation".

   i have read this doc here
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts

   so i created a template page called "tag.php" and put the following code in it

   <?php
   /**
         * Show latest post for Tags
         *
         * @return
         * @param object $tag
         * @param object $show[optional]
         */
         function show_title_tag( $tag, $show=10 ) {
   	      global $post;
   	      $posts = query_posts('tag=' . $tag . '&showposts=' . $show );
   	      echo "<ul>";
   	      foreach ($posts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
   	      <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
         <?php endforeach;
         echo "</ul>";
         }
   ?>

   then i created a new page, associated this page with the template page called "tag".

   at this point, i don't know how i can recall the page that shows the posts with a certain tag.

   i am not sure i did everything as i was supposed to, maybe i just don't understand where i should put the code with the query_posts() and how i should recall the page with the parameters.

   any help? thank you!

   If I understood your request correctly, you do not need a custom page template... you can use conditional query..
   but .. if you DO want a tag.php , you need to create the template and add this :
   query_posts('tag=bread+baking+recipe');

   and then , what you want to show, like title, writings, divs, styling, excerpt, images etc ...
   asically, just take the archive.php, duplicate it and change the query..

   ok, how does it work if i don't create a template page?
   where do i put this code?
   query_posts('tag=bread+baking+recipe');
   thanks!

   Let us make things a bit clearer.

   By default your archive.php will show the posts corresponding to a particular tag, if the name of the tag is clicked on the tag cloud or a list of tags.

   If you want to have a sperate page showing posts from a particular tag or set of tags, make a page template and add the query_posts snippet ahead of the loop, and associate this template to the special page that you create.

   ok great!, it seems to work... the only problem that i still have is that when i click on "previous entries" i get 404 not found.
   http://www.noiduepercaso.com/tag/

   how can i solve this?
   thanks!

   404 because there is no SECOND page for tags at the moment , not with YOUR permalink structure..

   @staceppa,

   If you have more posts tagged with the selected tag(s) and the previous entries link returns 404, then we have an issue.

   If you are using a single tag only, then you try making a template like "tag-slug.php" (slug=your-selected-tag-slug) and link it as "http://www.noiduepercaso.com/tag/your-tag". You may try if this solves the previous entries issue, if it is a real problem.

   Tag pages are like archive.php and category.php files, they are not templates, but an archive page.

   Just create a copy of your archive.php (or category.php), rename it tag.php ... you don't need to do anything with the query_posts line ....

   As kichu said above, you can do this on a per-tag basis to (like categories), with tag-NAME.php , where NAME is the name of a tag...

   Like I wrote 7 posts ago :-)

   you don't need to do anything with the query_posts line ...

   IMHO , if he wants to use more than one tag, he should cahnge the query line to accomodate more tags ..

    great! it works now
    i created a page called tag-MYTAG.php and recalled the page as
    http://URL/tag/MYTAG

    one last thing... with the query_posts('tag=bread+baking+recipe'); i could decide the order, like ASC, can i do the same with this?

    I think you can use this string before the loop without affecting the rest of the parameters.

    query_posts($query_string . "&order=ASC");

    If you want your posts to be sorted by tags, like

    Tag 1
    - post 1
    - post 2
    - etc

    Tag 2
    - post 1
    - post 2

    You can use Multiple Loops.

    Create a page template based on 'archive.php' and call it e.g. 'tag-archive.php'

    Put
    

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: Tag list
    */
    ?>

    in your first lines.

    In this template you create a loop
    Rewind your posts
    Create the second loop
    Upload the template in your theme directory
    Create a page based on this new template

    Example:

    <?php } ?>
    <?php query_posts('tag=fun'); ?>
    <div class="posttitle"><h2>These posts were fun!</h2></div>
    
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    
    <!-- do your stuff -->
    
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    
    <?php rewind_posts(); ?>
    
    <?php query_posts('tag=pleasure'); ?>
    <div class="posttitle"><h2>All Pleasure posts!</h2></div>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    
    <!-- do the stuff again -->
    
    <?php endwhile; ?>
