Bill, just for reference here:

all of my folders under www/ are
drwxr-xr-x and Im the owner of all of them, and the same for all files 
and folders under that.

I might be wrong about this but, I remember when I first moved to linux 
(just a few years back) and all files in var/www/ , you had to be root 
to add new files and folder. I really disliked becoming root and then 
creating a folder I could access.  Which is why all my stuff is now 
redirected to home/username/www/ for testing purposes.
