When I did it for the first time, I used "ASP 3.0 A Beginner's Guide"
by Mercer. The basic thing to do is to create a session object to
hold the login state (true/false). Then have each page check the
session variable to see if it is allowed to display things that are
only visible to users who are logged in. If the session is not logged
in, then render a read-only page. If the session IS logged in, then
render an updatable page.

But like I said, this is a very common thing to do, any good ASP
development book should give you examples.
