Example
The example code shown below is a simplified and slightly altered version of what's in the default photoalbum-byday template:

{{loop days}}

<h1>{{date}}</h1>
<hr>

{{loop photos}}

<!-- Draw the thumbnail and link it to the corresponding photo page -->
<p>
<a href="{{view_url}}">
<img class="thumbnail" src="http://blog.blogware.com/template/{{thumbnail_url}}" width="{{thumbnail_width}}" height="{{thumbnail_height}}" border="0">
</a>
<br />

<!-- Draw info about the photo -->

<!-- Title, with link -->
{{if title}}
<a href="{{view_url}}"><strong>{{title}}</strong></a>
{{else}}
<a href="{{view_url}}">Untitled</strong></a>
{{/if}}
<br />

<!-- Author -->
<strong>Posted by:</strong>&nbsp;
{{if author}}
{{if author_url}}
<a href="{{author_url}}">
{{/if}}
{{author}}
{{if author_url}}
</a>
{{/if}}
{{/if}}
<br />

<!-- When published -->
<strong>Publish date/time:</strong> {{publish_time}}
<br />

<!-- Excerpt -->
{{if excerpt}}
{{excerpt}}
{{/if}}

</p>

{{/loop}} <!-- photos -->

<hr>

{{/loop}} <!-- days -->
