Secondly .. one I get Drupal on this new hosting site (SiteGround or any other), it will be mostly anonymous users, so I may not have much use for the login except for some admins. I am pretty sure I can keep a login button on the main site, or somewhere, and for the most part keep it hidden for 99.999% of the visitors there. Can someone let me know if this is correct or incorrect?
In Drupal 5.7, I have the login block disabled under blocks admin. I added an option to the navagation menu, called "login", with a description of "administrative users log in here" or some such, and a path of "/user/login". Example at http://www.newlifehv.org.
That sounds similar to what you want to do. You could leave off the menu portion of this, and just give your administrative users a direct URL to login, be it "/user", "/user/login", or the "/?q=user" version that Earny suggested.
