Can I create password-protected pages with WebMerge?

As a page generator, WebMerge does not provide a means for user authentication. If you also need the user to modify content, both can probably best be served with a live database hosting solution. But if non-dynamic Web pages are what you’re looking for, then the only missing piece is user authentication. Most hosting services provide a convenient way to do this on the server side for free. Fourth World has a private Web page for each of our clients using this method. We’ve used Verio, XO, Earthlink, and TierraNet, and all of these (and most others) provide an easy Web interface for password-protecting directories.
