[support] Setting up leech

[Grandmother Spider]

I'm just now re-installing a 4.7.x website that crashed and burned when 
I had to put it onto a new box. Agg2 was the main module running the 
site; the site depends on that kind of functionality. In the time since 
the site initially crashed, agg2 was abandoned and leech became its 
replacement. Fine and dandy, but the instructions are so craptastic 
that I can't figure out how to get the thing to run. I've figured out 
enough to enter a feed, but feed items are not showing up.

What I've done:

1) Installed and/or enabled the leech module and the node_template 
module.

2) Made a story node into a template.

3) Went into ~/admin/settings/content-types/story and enabled leech, 
giving it the template.

4) Made nodes of two different feeds using the newly leech-y story 
type, and updated/leeched the feeds.

5) Yes, cron is running.

And then what? Who knows! Because the feed items aren't appearing 
anywhere and nothing I'm reading at drupal.org tells me where or how 
they might be enabled. I went to the IRC channel today and was 
confronted by a blank screen but for my own appeals for a good 
half-hour.

OK I'm done bitching now. I feel better. :) I don't expect folks to do 
it all for me, I just wish when people release stuff they made better 
READMEs, or find someone to write a README for them. Yes, I will write 
READMEs for developers, having done tech writing before, but you have 
to explain what the hell's going on to me first. I've been working with 
Drupal since '04, possibly '03, I can't remember, so I'm not new to 
this stuff.
