Another way to use personal web sharing and FileVault

That's why I added the second note - to emphasise that unsecured access to the personal web pages in ~/Sites could lead to unintentional security leaks.

In my case I have some private documentation in HTML+PHP format that I want to keep private. In order to be able to view ist I need a webserver. So this hint combined with SSL and password protection seems like a pretty good solution to me.
