Non-members can still access any content you place outside of the members directory.

The CMS is really a different animal that allows you to update and manage content. That's something you may need down the road if you end up having a lot of content to manage.

so i would have to creat a login page for the users, correct? just a form or is there a specific thing i need?

or ... could i put the cms under the members dir and not use the users feature of it and just use that to display the members content only?? i would just use the login for the login page i create...

i'm used to the cms is why i would like to keep it in the mix, it makes uploading the content really easy.

Thanks man, Danny
