How do I turn off the login/password request for user to view my site?
I loaded the software and got an OK on everything but now when I try and view my site as a user I’m being asked for a password. I can see the site if I login using the password/user I created for administering the blog through Textpattern BUT people viewing my site shouldn’t have to login every time they want to view the site.
I think it has something to do with the .htaccess file but I don’t know what. Its all very new to me.
Can anyone help restore my site to functionality?
my site address is http://www.franklingrovehomeowners.com

This isn’t part of the standard textpattern .htaccess. Take a look at yours and you probably have something like
<limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</limit>
Since i can see your main page maybe this is in your images or some other directory?
I checked, it’s in your images directory.

Yeah, Matt is right. Textpattern doesn’t do that, it’s something else, probably something in your .httaccess. And yep, it comes from your images directory. First, you should look what is inside your images-directory, and then delete the .httaccess file, if there is one.
Also it’s kinda odd that your error pages, like 401 in your image directory, leads to information.com’s ads page

The information.com error page is an ixwebhosting thing. I have them also and I hate them but I already paid for the next 3 months and got a credit for 3 more because their database server was down for a week and a half. As soon as that is up i’m moving all 3 of my sites.

That is ugly way to get more money, really ugly way – when host does that. Darn.
