 * Anyone know why this isn’t working? No errors or anything, but the posts tagged“
   blog” and “gallery” are still showing:
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
                       $term = get_term_by('slug','blog', 'post_tag');
       				$term2 = get_term_by('slug','gallery', 'post_tag');
       				$args=array(
         					'tag__not_in' => array($term->term_id, $term2->term_id),
         					'post_type' => 'post',
         					'post_status' => 'publish',
         					'caller_get_posts'=> 1
       				);
   
                       query_posts(array('tag__not_in' => array($args)));
   
                       if (have_posts()) : ?>
       ```
