Wrapping my head around Categories I have a category group set up called 'gists'. I have entries that contain a category field which pulls in the category group 'gists'. 

Now I need to access entries that are tied to individual categories but I need to do so by the category slug.

I cannot figure out how to make this happen. I have tried numerous things but cannot get my head around this. Here is my latest.

{% for entry in craft.entries.section('gist').relatedTo('tech').limit(10).find() %}
Craft site has the excellent document How do I list the entries related to a category?

Building on that, you would fetch your category (by slug), and then the entries related to the category.

{# Fetch the category with slug 'categorySlug' #}
{% set category = craft.categories.slug('categorySlug').first() %}

{# Fetch all of the entries related to this category #}
{% set entries = craft.entries.relatedTo(category) %}


Then loop over those entries.
