 * Hi,
    I’m trying to create a custom tag page but I can’t get it working. What 
   would be the right loop to display a list of post with a given tag? but in the
   code the tag must be general..I mean it should automatically retrieve it from
   the post. I don’t want to manually specify which tag the loop has to show like
   I did instead for categories.
 * I hope I explained it right and that someone can help.
    Thank you very much, 
   any suggestion is appreciated 🙂

   Basically, you choose what you want to appear inside the WordPress loop – permalink
   titles, author?, date?, post thumbnail?, excerpt or whole content? , etc Open
   index.php and file > save as > **tag.php** and then add/delete code inside loop
   to feature what you want in your customized page. What theme are you using? Usually
   most archives.php cover year, month, category, and tag renderings.

 * Ah ok, I’ll try this!
 * I’m not using any theme, I’m creating my own.
    however, to save time and because
   it’s the first time I’m using wordpress I’m basically overwriting the default
   theme.
 * Thanks mate!
