"Front Page" is the short site name.  I think it would be best if the page 
titles were <Short name> : <Page Name>

i.e. ... MyBlogSite : Main Menu

Agreed ... that should be updated.

I agree ... that message is a bit confusing.  Maybe something a bit more simple 
like ...

"Use this page to set configuration options which effect your entire Roller 
installation.  These changes will be applied without having to restart your 
Roller website."

Agreed.  I'll take this as an AI.  Should be fairly easy to add a "help" tag to 
the runtime config file and update the display so that is includes the help 
text.

affirmative.

true, the Tab is called Preferences, but the page is called "Settings" so I 
think this one is okay.

Possibly, but the reason those pages are under the "Create & Edit" tab is 
because they are considered part of the publishing process.  Uploading a file 
and setting categories is certainly part of the publishing process.  I think 
Bookmarks and Referers may be more along the lines of Preferences tasks, but I 
don't care too much if they stay where they are.
