+Introduction
+================
+
+This module is for people who want a custom front page to their Drupal sites.
+
+For all bugs, feature requests or support requests please use the
+Front Page issue queue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/front
+
+
+Key Functionality
+=====================
+
+1. Allows you to specify a custom front page based on role type.
+
+2. Allows 4 different override types:
+    1. Themed - Allows you to add content that will display as a standard
+          themed Drupal page.
+    2. Full - Allows you to add content that will be displayed on the screen
+          as is. This method is the same as declaring a whole HTML page.
+    3. Redirect - Allows you to 301 redirect the user to another path.
+    4. Alias - Allows you to specify a local path which will then display as
+          the home page without redirecting the user.
+
+4. Allow Themed and Full display types to be passed through Drupals input filters.
+
+5. Override Home Links to go to another local path. This could be to stop users
+    going back to a splash screen.
+
+
+
+Installation
+===============
+
+1. Upload and install the Front Page module.
+
+2. Go to Administer -> Config -> Front Page.
+
+3. Expand any of the roles that you want to override the default front page and
+    select the appropriate method of override as well as filling in the variables
+    required for that method. Once the settings are correct save the form.
+
+4. Go to Administer -> Config -> Front Page -> Arrange.
+
+5. Arrange the roles in the order in which you want them to process. Roles at
+    the top will process first and then work down the list. Once the order is
+    correct save the form.
+
+5. Go back to Administer -> Config -> Front Page.
+
+6. Enable the 'Front Page Override' checkbox and then save the form. The front
+    page module should now be working correctly.
