Since it's a property of the object, having the object in the
template's context is enough to enable access to it; for example, if
you were using the 'object_detail' generic view, the template would
have a variable called 'object'; you could then do, for example,
{% if object.was_published_today %}
...do stuff for a story published today...
{% else %}
...do stuff for an older story...
{% endif %}
Take note of the fact that, when using it in a template, you do *not*
use parentheses: it's 'object.was_published_today', *not*
'object.was_published_today()'.
