 ``django_flatpage_sites`` associates a flatpage with a site.
 
+Using the URLconf
+-----------------
+
+There are several ways to include the flat pages in your URLconf. You can
+dedicate a particular path to flat pages::
+
+    urlpatterns = patterns('',
+        ('^pages/', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')),
+    )
+
+You can also set it up as a "catchall" pattern. In this case, it is important
+to place the pattern at the end of the other urlpatterns::
+
+    # Your other patterns here
+    urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.flatpages.views',
+        (r'^(?P<url>.*)$', 'flatpage'),
+    )
+
+Another common setup is to use flat pages for a limited set of known pages and
+to hard code the urls, so you can reference them with the :ttag:`url` template
+tag::
+
+    urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.flatpages.views',
