Hello,

When someone goes to my home page, I would like to display the photos like the picture below.

The date is actually a hyperlink, selecting it should show me a page of pictures taken during that day. Only five pictures should be displayed per day. Since I have pictures going back to 1999, I need to support some form of paging (i.e. 10 days per page). This is essentially an daily photo archive. I have the following questions:

• How do get a list of days, months or years for which photos exist in the system. For example, a yearly archive will display only years for which I uploaded photos (i.e. 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007). A montly archive will display only months in a year that I have taken a photo on (i.e. in 2007, I took pictures in January, February, April and June). A daily archive will display only days for which I took pictures (in June I only took pictures on the 5th and 17th).
• How do I get 5 photos top rated photos for a specific year, month or day?
• How do I combine the above to get the required effect in my home page?

I have played around with the source, however can't find how to build such archives.

Thanks in advance
