 * Hey There,
 * I’d like to create a list of post titles. The posts need to be part of a category
   called “Job Openings” and a custom field called position_status needs to be “
   Open”. I know how to generate a list based on the category:
 *     ```
       <ul class="news-list">
         <?php
       $pstatus = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'position_status', true);
       $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name="Job Openings"');
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
         $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>
           <li><?php the_title(); ?> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read More &raquo;</a></li>
         <?php endwhile; ?>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * That will display everything in the category “Job Openings” in a nice list just
   fine but I’m not sure how to filter that query so the custom field position_status
   is set to “Open”.
 * Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
