   Hi all,

   I know there's a few posts to this effect on the forum, but to be honest I'm feeling like a bit of a gumby because I can't figure out how to make it work.

   I am displaying all posts from one category with the following (please feel free to correct if it's wrong).

   <?php $section_headlines = new WP_Query('cat=6') ?>
   <?php if ( $section_headlines->have_posts() ) ... etc

   How do I exclude a specific tag from this query? And where do I put it? Does it need to go in my if/while statement?

   Thanks!

   So I may have been having a senior moment - turns out I was editing the wrong file (just been tidying up my theme).

   This seems to be doing the trick, but feedback is still welcomed.

   <?php $section_headlines = new WP_Query(array('tag__not_in'=>'70','cat=6')) ?>

   Thanks.

   ETA: Okay, so now I'm VERY confused. The above code causes the category number to be ignored. So it's a bit of a fail so far. Back to square one. :(
