Running httpd as a user

I build websites for a living. I'd like to get /usr/sbin/httpd running
as a regular user. I've setup a directory with a simple httpd.conf on
my F15 install. When it starts up, I get a single message in the error
log:

[Fri Jul 01 23:36:53 2011] [notice] SELinux policy enabled; httpd
running as context
unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

I've poked at Google for a while but I don't see a way to tune SELinux
to allow myself to run httpd. Any pointers? Turning SELinux off is an
option, but I'd rather learn more about how SELinux really works so
that I can take advantage of its benefits.
