 * I would like to create my own app but use wordpress to authenticate so I don’t
   have to have multiple logins for users
 * I just basically need to write my own login page
    have wordpress authenticate
   the user and then redirect them to a different page with some stored session 
   variables
 * can someone point tell me how to do this?
