This module can also be useful if needing to get up some related/featured content blocks quickly and are not familiar enough with views to do it.
The content that shows up in the block depends on how the user configured the block.
The content can be sorted alphabetically, by date, or by popularity, or can presented randomly.
Visibility rules allow the user to choose in showing the blocks based on the user/author, content type, or taxonomy terms available for the node page being viewed.
One option is to specify a manual list of paths to show.
The advantage of this is if you know the pages you are interested in, but want them sorted in a particular way or you want to apply some additional rules for when the block should show up.
The other option is to specify a number of filters to determine what content will be displayed. He can filter by content types(s), user(s)/author(s), taxonomy term(s), and by path.
He can match the content type, author, or terms of the current node being shown, or can configure it independent of the page being shown.
Some examples of blocks he can create:
List of content that have the same author as the node being shown
List of content that have the same content type as the node being shown
List of content that have one of the same terms as the node being shown
List of content that start with the same path as the node being shown
List of content that are a chosen content type or types
List of content that are authored by a chosen author or authors
List of content that contain one of the chosen taxonomy terms
These can be combined as well. For example, the user could chose to show a list of nodes that have the same author *and* content type as the node being shown.
