    Hi, I recently set up this site ---- http://mountainlaurel.org/ using the Outreach theme and now I need to password protect a section of the site... Does anyone have any experience and/or suggestions on  the best way to do this?  Should I use the built in WordPress  password protection --- http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Password_Protection  or do I need a plugin?  Specifically I'd like to set up a new category, put it in the Parents section and have all the posts in that category visible only to someone who enters a password.  Thanks!
