UM Web Virtual Includes

With the new design of the UM Web site, a number of new virtual include statements have been created for use on official web pages. This allows site wide changes to be made without having every webmaster making changes to their site.

These includes can be used on all official sites, especially the banner and footer, to allow a consistent look and feel to the UM Web site. They probably should not be used on personal pages to avoid confusion...

The code to be inserted will be given below as well as examples of some of the includes.

Banner

The banner, if used, should appear at the top of official UM Web Pages. It is at the top of this page...

Footer

The footer should appear at the bottom of a webpage. If you don't use these footers, you should use something similar so visitors know how to contact you and to know the last modification date of the page.

There are different types of footers...

The Main UM Footer is used on pages maintained by the Office of Information Technology and should probably not be used elsewhere.

The Generic UM Footer can be used by official campus websites. It should also be preceeded by a link or other information to send e-mail to the webmaster of that page and it can be left,centered, or right justified.
