 * Hi!
 * I coded a page with raw HTML/CSS, I don’t wish to use WordPress as a CMS (I’m
   a little oldschool, I know..)
 * However, I DO want to use WordPress’ login system that way the site is hidden
   behind a login screen. How would I go about adding my .html page to be part of
   WP and get that login screen? I don’t want to use WP for anything more than the
   security feature.
 * Let me know if I need to clarify further.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi wintry,
 * Maybe try setting up your HTML/CSS as the template page in a custom theme? You
   would need to add a bit of extra information to it and create mostly empty theme
   functions.php and style.css files, but it shouldn’t be much work.
 * See [http://www.wpexplorer.com/create-wordpress-theme-html-1/](http://www.wpexplorer.com/create-wordpress-theme-html-1/)
   for some of the basic required elements.

 * Thank you, I will give this a try. Never done this before, just thought WordPress
   would be my simplest and best bet if I wanted to generate some usernames (no 
   registration shown though) for people to login to see content while still utilizing
   my HTML/CSS page already created.
