Create login page

Hello warriors. Looking for some help. I am working on a wordpress site and I need to be able to create a login gateway that will use the same password for all my guests. I am looking for something similar to this http://helenadebruyn.com/ that when people go to my home page url that they are taken to a page similar to this and once they use the username and password that I give them, this will take them to the homepage and have access to all the other tabs on the website. Any ideas from anybody how I can achieve this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a plugin that can be used?

    I don't know if there is a plugin available.

    But I do know that you can install your blog at http://helenadebruyn.com/blog for example then at http://helenadebruyn.com/ you have as your default or index page a PHP page with a simple login script on it that redirects to http://helenadebruyn.com/blog when you enter the correct Username and Password.

    You don't even need to setup a database for your scenario since you only have one username/pwd combo. They can be hardcoded.

    Piece of cake.

    You should be able to find a php login script fairly easily through google that you can easily tweak to your liking.

    or

    You can find someone on fiverr.com that knows PHP that I'm sure would make it happen.

    Or you could PM someone here that offered this solution and he can probalby make it happen. Wait, he is me.

    Actually, that's not a spectacular solution now that I'm thinking about it.

    Anyone that has a URL that access the blog directly will bypass the login, doy.

    .htaccess may help us here. Lemme think if noone else comes along with a plugin.
