Is there a way to password protect the editing page?
Yes. While HTMLCAL does not provide for any password protection, most Web servers allow you to restrict access to particular directories by requiring a password. This feature is usually set on Windows NT-based servers by going to the administration page of the Web server software. On Unix-based servers, you can restrict access using a file called .htaccess. It’s beyond the scope of this FAQ to explain how to use .htaccess, but there are instructions elsewhere on the Internet, including http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/tutorials/user.html.
