The Loop behavior – related posts

Hey everyone,

I have been trying to tackle this one on my own for a few days, and I just can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong.

I have followed the instructions for the “Simple Tags” plugin, and I have ensured that the plug in is working, because it is posting related posts in each one of my articles, however when I try to manually display related posts in the sidebar, it seems to be displaying all of the articles instead of just the articles with related tags.

Is there something wrong with my loop? Perhaps I am querying all of the articles, rather than something more specific to the related tags?

I’m at a loss, here’s the code:

<h2>Related Articles</h2>
	<?php if (function_exists('st_related_posts')): ?>
		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<?php st_related_posts('number=10&amp;title=&amp;include_page=false&amp;except_wrap=35&amp;xformat=<a href="%permalink%" title="%title% (%date%)">%title%</a> <small>%post_excerpt%</small>'); ?>
		<?php endwhile; ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
	<?php else: ?>
		Missing Plugin: <a href="">Simple Tags</a>
	<?php endif; ?>

Here’s the output:
