I don't want the login box to anyone just visiting the site as I intend this site to be just my blog for the time being, without any other users. Is there a way to make this possible?

If this is possible, how would I log in to post entries?

Thanks very much!

The easiest way is to go to admin -> configuration -> blocks, and disable the "user login" block. Then just bookmark www.yoursite.com/user so you can log in yourself.

I stumbled across this post, having exactly the same question, but the solution did not work for me until I read this thread. It offers a little more information than blaine's otherwise helpful post.

This is the relevant part:

If you get rid of the login block, you can log in on the main user page. If you are using clean URLs, this is www.yoursite.com/user -- if not, www.yoursite.com/index.php?q=user. When logged in, to get to the administration pages go to www.yoursite.com/admin or www.yoursite.com/index.php?q=admin. You could put these links in a custom block or modify your theme to include the links.

My problem with blaine's solution was just that I hadn't enabled clean URLs, so I need to use the more obscure address.

the user link works for me, just that one:

www.yoursite.com/user

login with admin user works good.
