It’s simple, but I get excited about teaching myself things.  For instance, before today, I didn’t know how to even get a folder listing on Apache.  Today, I learned about:

Using alias in httpd.conf to create a URL alias to a local folder
Then how to deny file listings for all folders that don’t have an index file unless I explicitly say so with a .htaccess file in that folder.
Learned about FancyIndexing and things like AddIcon (for custom icons depending on the file type), DefaultIcon and finally, IndexStyleSheet and HeaderName options in .htaccess.

Then I had to coble together some simple CSS and a Header.html file to make it look sexy.

I’m quite proud of myself :)
