I'm wondering if anyone out there has had the need to protect a photoblog. I'd like to be able to use the information contained within the MT database, but I had also considered just writing some quick PHP pages. Basically, if I have a photoblog, and someone clicks on a link off my main blog site, I would like that link to have as its target an authentication page, and pending authorization, allow the user to access the blog.

Has anyone out there already developed a solution like this? Thanks!

I wonder if the scriptygoddess restricted post method can help you.

Honestly, I looked at scriptygoddess' code. It would be great if I were working with a network with known IPs. Unfortunately, as with most people who use the web, IP addresses are assigned dynamically (for the most part) and I cannot be certain from which networks they will be coming; therefore, I will not explicitly know the corresponding IP addresses. I'm playing with her code and seeing if I can maybe massage the format a bit to allow for what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks for the reply!
