  I would like to create a module that just pulls a piece of shared Generic Content from the datastore and display it. How can I do that?

  Hello Briankb,
  
  Please take our apologies for the delayed response.
  
  I'm attaching a demo pluggable control written for you. It demonstrates how to get shared generic content and display it. You need just a few Sitefinity API functions and a standard pluggable module.
  Don't forget to add reference to the module in your Sitefinity project, and to register it in web.config file:
  

  <modules>

  ..

  <add type="Demo.CustomModule.DemoModule, Demo" />

  ..

  </modules>

  
  Please note that I used the GetContent() method to get all contents as List with IContent objects. GetContent has more overrides that will help you if you want to get content by specified parameters.
  
  I'm also attaching a screenshot of the result.
  
  Best wishes,
