Hi Ken,

What I've found is that I can control the header and footer information 
directly from our java code by modifying the htmlwriter.java file.  You can do 
this if you are comfortable unpacking the thredds.war, making the changes you 
would like, and repacking.  For now, that is the best I can offer you, though 
customizable html is on our wishlist.

Let me know if I can help with anything else in the meantime.

Cheers,
  Lansing
