Overall, this rocks. It could use a little better English labeling, and maybe a help page on the homepage in English. Here's the basics you need to use it:
In the Module Manager/Edit screen for the module, the only field that matters is the "ID Widget" field. In this, you place the "InsertWidget_" code (just the numbers----eg: "3897e34c-f330-4f8a-884b-3fa4869dfbb2", NOT "InsertWidget_3897e34c-f330-4f8a-884b-3fa4869dfbb2" or the "clsid" code. This code is obtained from WidgetBox widgets that produce BOTH kinds of codes (hint: if you can't place it on MySpace, you probably can't use it here) and whose codes start with something like "object classid".
Works really nicely with YooThemes and the "loadposition" function.
