I want to have a members area on my web site where people sign up and get a username and a password.

Then can then log in and view extra sound clips, photos etc...

How do I go about doing this?

Hi Steve, to do this you have one of two options... a .htaccess file or a password protection script. .htaccess files are much more secure, and will result in the "popup" username/password box for your visitors. However, you will need to check with your web host regarding how to use this feature. Many password protection scripts are available here:

Good luck,
