This extension was developed for a client who was comfortable with editing articles and wanted to be able edit the content of various module positions in the same way. As there were a huge amount of modules already installed on the site, navigating the module manager for a specific custom HTML module seemed a daunting prospect. Once the module was set up the client was fully capable of editing content in the left and right module positions without having to access the module manager.
I've used this module on every single site I've built since discovering it. I love the way you can just create stuff using HTML and just put them anywhere in the site. It's very simple to use and if you're smart in the way you write your HTML you can practically put as many of these as you want in one page - with each one controlled by its own CSS.
This did exactly what I needed, placing an article in a module with associated graphic. I found it simple to install and had it working in 5 minutes. When I had a small issue, the support from Hyde Design was first class - not bad for something that I got for free!
I have developed dozens of joomla sites and can't count how often I've evaluated and tossed extensions that either were cumbersome to configure or use, or were plainly buggy.
It's always a pleasure to come across extensions that are simple to use and quick to configure.
The developer (with whom I have no affiliation whatsoever) shouldn't be knocked for putting out something that works perfectly and holds true to its promise.
Simple? Yup. And it works a like a charm.

Sorry, but i can't give you more then three stars. The problem ist, the "articles anywhere" plugin from the developer nonumber.nl have the same effect since a long, long time ago and gives you the posibilities to include articles in any modules and any other places on the website where an editor window is available (articles in articles).
Thats the reason of my average rating. There is nothing new and no innovation.
