The Password Gate - what it is & what it isn't
This image shows you what the Password Gate does. Your web site is made of 'public' pages - anyone can view them while visiting your site.
And there is a gateway through which your visitors must pass before they can see the 'private' pages on your web site. Those are the pages behind the Password Gate.
If you want all of your site behind the Password Gate, then make the very first page of your site (usually index.html) the page with the Password and user name entry code from Bravenet.
Remember you must not have any links from your 'public' pages to your 'protected' pages or clicking those links will bypass the Password Gate!!
Password Gate is not a page protection method, it's just access control. It stops people visiting specified parts of your web site unless they have been given the password and number necessary to successfully log in through the gate.
The Password Gate does not prevent people from visiting your 'private pages' if they know the exact address of the page (the full URL).
 The Terms of Service for some *free* webspace services do not allow password protected content - just letting you know :)
