On my computer, really the only user is me, sometimes being a regular user, and sometimes being a super user.
Should I make a group that includes me in regular user mode, or somehow grant permissions to me as an individual.
And... um... how do I do that?
Is it: chmod 775 -R /var/www/html/

chmod g+w -R /var/www/html
but I would think in your situation, you might want to create a symlink to a folder within your home directory...
mkdir /home/dave/web-files chmod g+w,o+w /home/dave/web-files ln -s /home/dave/web-files /var/www/html/web-files
and to access, you would point mozilla to localhost/web-files
this may cause some issues with SELinux - you might have to permission that directory for SELinux http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/
