If you want to include an image called "header.gif" as a header, the header file would contain the following line:
<img src="header.gif"></img>
It is assumed that the image file header.gif is present in your biodata subdirectory. If not, please provide the full path of the image file.

.If you want to include a thank-you statement, displayed in green and bold font, as your footer, the footer file would contain the following line:
<font color="green"><b>Thank you for visiting my webpage.</b></font>

For our example we will have the following:

• Department directory is:
  /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/depts/accc/webpub/bio
• Biodata subdirectory in department directory is:
  biodata
• Template file contains:
  resume_template
• Stylesheet file contains:
  stylesheet.css
• Header file contains:
  <div align="center"><font color="green"><b> DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY </b></font></div>
  
• Footer file contains:
  <hr><div align="center"><a href="http://www.uic.edu/index.html/contact_www.shtml">Contact the Webmaster</a></div>
  
• And the URL is:
  https://tigger.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap-auth/bin/biodata.pl/depts/accc/webpub/bio/biodata

We have set up this example biodata system so that you can use it to enter your own data.

   https://tigger.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap-auth/bin/biodata.pl/depts/accc/webpub/bio/biodata
   
   
2. Please login with your netid. For this example, we will create an .shtml file in our biodata directory for your netid automatically after you login. Your yournetid.shtml file exists for 1 day after which it will be deleted automatically.
