I don’t quite have the programming chops, but I have been using Hugo quite a while now.
This is the structure of my contents folder
.
├── about.md
├── archive.md
├── blog (lots and lots and lots of posts)
├── more
│ ├── fitness.md
│ └── _index.md
├── projects
│ ├── _index.md
│ └── other-projects
│ └── _index.md
├── reading
└── subscribe.md
What I am struggling to do, is create a list in the other-projects folder, of posts tagged other-projects in my blog folder.
Been looking all day, and am thoroughly confused.
If any one could help, or point me somewhere, I’d be really grateful

You’re godsent @jmooring!
It worked!
The missing piece for me was understanding a layout was needed and where to put it.
(I found various examples of ranging and I was somehow trying to get it to work by making a shortcode that would put in html into my _index.md)
The way you showed it, makes so much more sense.
Thank you so much, once again 
Update: I got it to look just the way I wanted.
From what you taught me, and the links you pointed me to, I figured I could reuse my theme’s list layout for my custom list too.
So I used that as my layouts/_default/blogs-tagged-other-projects.html and dropped your range code, in there.
Thank you so much once again, @jmooring!
