+A Note About Uploads
+--------------------
+
+It is important, when using django-pagination in conjunction with file uploads,
+to be aware of when ``request.page`` is accessed.  As soon as ``request.page``
+is accessed, ``request.upload_handlers`` is frozen and cannot be altered in any
+way.  It's a good idea to access the ``page`` attribute on the request object 
+as late as possible in your views.
+
+
+Optional Settings
+------------------
+
+In django-pagination, there are no required settings.  There are, however, a
+small set of optional settings useful for changing the default behavior of the
+pagination tags.  Here's an overview:
+
+``PAGINATION_DEFAULT_PAGINATION``
+    The default amount of items to show on a page if no number is specified.
+
+``PAGINATION_DEFAULT_WINDOW``
+    The number of items to the left and to the right of the current page to
+    display (accounting for ellipses).
+
+``PAGINATION_DEFAULT_ORPHANS``
+    The number of orphans allowed.  According to the Django documentation,
+    orphans are defined as::
+    
+        The minimum number of items allowed on the last page, defaults to zero.
+
+``PAGINATION_INVALID_PAGE_RAISES_404``
+    Determines whether an invalid page raises an ``Http404`` or just sets the
+    ``invalid_page`` context variable.  ``True`` does the former and ``False``
+    does the latter.
