[FX.php List] When to start SSL on a site

Hi Folks,

Just thought I would throw this out...

In creating a site that starts out with non-ssl content (5-6 pages) 
and offers a login to access ssl content, where do you switch over to 
the ssl content?  Specifically, if the login form is embedded in all 
the non ssl pages (user can login from any of the non-ssl pages) and 
the form action points to a page on the ssl side for login 
validation, is this considered secure? I'm thinking not, but then how 
do you offer a secure login without making the entire site ssl/https?

Thanks for listening.

Jonathan
