Be aware that this is a "private" ip address - only accessible from
within your network.
For others to see the pages you're creating, you'll need a static
external IP address (or a dynamic DNS domain name).
You'll also need to set up your internet connection (and any
firewalls/modems) to allow access to your machine on port 80.
This is not trivial, and you may want to consider using your
ISP's-provided web space (if available)
so my question is
1. is there an apache tutorial anywhere which explains setting up an
index pages then other pages for Mac OS X
2. how do I determine the web address for each html page I make, so I
can link them in the various pages I create
any advice on these matters would be appreciated.
This HTML tutorial should help - (Apache is just the web-server
software that your Mac is running, and the HTML pages are independent
of it)

The answer is to use relative links, so that the pages will work from
whichever folder or machine they're hosted on.
Hope this gives you a starting point.
Cheers,
Steve.
