    Its not as simple as just adding a login page.

    There are two easy ways I have seen where you can add a login page with a registration link. The first is a javascripted page that just edits itself and stores the user names and passwords right in the page itself. If you get more than 100 or so users though it will load slow, and query times will be slow... the more you add the worse it gets.

    The second way is by using a database. You will find many scripts online (php/cgi) that can access a database in order to keep track of users and account information. Most will come with remote instructions on how to set up the database and what fields and such you will need.

    It gets more complicated. You need another set of pages (and probably a separate database) to control how the pages are made and to keep track of information submitted there. I have seen a couple of free setups where everything is ready to go, but the configuration is a little more complicated.

    If you're not a programmer or a web developer I would suggest the following sites:

    Hot Scripts - The net's largest PHP, CGI, Perl, JavaScript and ASP script collection and resource web portal.

    JavaFile.com - free java scripts, java applets!

    Free PHP Scripts, free ASP Scripts, Java Scripts - The Script Dungeon

    Scripts Directory of PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, Java, Javascript, Perl and more! - Scripts

    If you're developing in PHP.. . Check out CakePHP. It's a well-built, well-tested framework and they have classes dealing with membership management.

    If you're developing in ASP.. . As of late, I've been developing in Visual Web Developer 2010, it's complete free and easily the most complete web IDE out there, and it's framework (ASP.NET) comes with it's own user membership management which includes an entire membership database. You don't have to code a thing.

    Frameworks are your friend.

    Another option would be to build your website around a content management suite. There a number of open source/free products that can do the trick. It will take a bit of learning to fully utilize any of these tools.
