Protect my iweb blog with a password without .mac?

Hello. I use I web to create a blog and publish it to my site I own from godaddy. So far everything works fine. I read that password protection is only enabled with publishing to .mac, but can I still protect my blog and pictures? I am new to all this and can%26#039;t find an answer anywhere else. I love iweb for my blog and don%26#039;t want to switch or subscribe to .mac right now as I just bought the domains, hosting and emails with godaddy. Thanks for the help. I can%26#039;t wait to get started on it...

Protect my iweb blog with a password without .mac?

It%26#039;s a piece of cake!

No changes to the html or files!

the protected directory has a .htaccess file along with a .htpasswd file.

see it in action at http://jpassoc.com (an iWeb site)

.htaccess

AuthName %26quot;JP Downloads directory%26quot;

AuthType Basic

AuthUserFile %26quot;...%26quot;

Require valid-user

## end basic auth

.htpasswd

user:encodedpassword

user2:encodedpassword

user3:encodedpassword

Protect my iweb blog with a password without .mac?

Can you expand on this? I am using iWeb to make a site that I want to password protect, however, I%26#039;m posting it on a non-.Mac host.

Where do I find the file to insert this? Or is the .htaccess file already in there and all I have to do is edit it?

Thanks in advance,

Other Replys:it%26#039;s POSSIBLE but it%26#039;s very difficult. I had read an article on this not too long ago but can%26#039;t find it again. I remember it requiring extensive web scripting and many steps. Didn%26#039;t seem worth it to me.
