Website Question

What does it take to make a login page that will allow access to other pages on a website? Alot, a lil? Should I just forget about it?

Depends on what you are trying to restrict. If you just want to restrict access to a photo, an HTML document, or a file of some other sort, it is easy. If you're trying to build something like TechIMO's forums pages where things are customized for each user, things can be a bit more difficult.

yeah, I don't want to do something like a forum just yet. I would like to. But I would like to just to have a login for documents and my personal files that I store on the web.
