[wp-hackers] tags, categories and selecting posts

[Burobjorn]

Hi Christine,

Could you eloborate a bit more about the query part? I've re-read your 
email a few times and looked at your experimental interface, but I can't 
seem to get my head around the query building part.

In the end it would be very cool if I could use the URL to access this 
behaviour...sort of a poor man's API ;)

All the best,

grtz
BjornW
