Description

As part of my preparation for a usability presentation reviewed you module. The module itself serves a usability purpose for site builders and admin, thank you for this.
I have a few usability quick wins for the module:

* Add a README.txt file containing basic module and installation information.
* Implement hook_help(). A module help page automatically lists (with links) the available administration pages (permission, settings)
* Move the Settings page (currently under Content Management) to Site configuration. Although the module is content related, it is common use to have module settings available under Site configuration.
