Members Only Area

Hello,
I am looking to have a ‘members only’ section on my website (velocitywinterguard.com). Ideally, it would be a password protected category where a user would click on the members only category link and be prompted with a user name/password field (or something similar) to gain access.

I don’t want to deal with permissions depending on users that are/aren’t registered as we won’t have a lot of different users. I would have a single set user name and password that would allow the category to be viewed.

I also looked at the ‘User Login Widget’ which would be perfect because I can create a ‘member’ user that will allow all categories to be viewed (including the ‘members only’ category). The only problem is – after I installed the widget on the side bar, none of the content was visible until a user logged in. Ideally I would like the ‘public’ content visible and if the user logged in, they could see the additional ‘members only’ category.

Thanks!
