I came across an awesomely simple hack that allows the login module to appear whenever a non-member accesses the site, and hides it once a member has logged in. It also forces the login module to appear on the page that pops up when the user confirms his registration. It is available here:

Scroll down to item #4. Basically, in non-coder lingo, it sets a condition in the template index.php file that says "hey, if the person accessing this site is not a member, lets show the login module." Since this hack hides the module once logged in, I added a "logout" item on my top menu to allow members to easily logout, like this:
www.yoursite.com/component/option,com_comprofiler/task,logout/
Now, if I can just figure out an easy way to customize the layout of the login module...
