[wp-hackers] Shortcode to show excerpts by tag?

[Bryan Spahr]

Thanks Torben, and Jeremy, and Beau.  It's been said before, but bears
repeating - this community is one of the friendliest and most helpful
that I've ever been involved with.  The active discussion and
inclusive community are most refreshing!

Regards,
Bryan Spahr
