As Jeremy suggested I opened port 80 and he pointed out that  the address 10.0.1.6  is my local network one and the other computers have to go through the Airport router. This is not as simple as the help box describes it. I have the external address (I think this is right) for the modem, the router and the network address for the router and my computer. Then MediaCom may block port 80 so that I cannot host a site. I imagine that the network address would be 10.0.1.1/10.0.1.6/~rbowler2/. The external address might be 173.31.31.128.1/10.0.1.1/10.0.1.6/~rbowler2/. I may try that later. For now I'll just use DropBox to pass it on to someone else for testing.

What you need to do is configure your AirPort's port mapping to redirect port 80 traffic to 10.0.1.6 - the URL would then be 173.31.31.128.1/~rbowler2/.
