    As i dont know which version of WordPress you are using it could be in two places.

    If you are using WordPress 2.3

    Then Sidebar widget's come in the core package and are in your Presentation Menu. You will not need to download anything to use them. They come preactivated and ready to use. (You'll find them in the "Widgets" sub-menu in the presentation area)

    If you are using WordPress 2.1.3 or Below *Upgrade!* ;)

    Then you'll need to download the sidebar widgets plugin and install that in "/wp-content/plugins/" and then activate them. After that they will be in your presentation menu under "Sidebar widgets"

    to say that i'm confused at the installation instructions, would be greatly underestimating it?

    what the heck am i supposed to do with this installation? is it cut and paste? is it something i just need to click on. i can't make head or tails of this?

    you can have bunches of plugins running. Upload them to your http://www.yourdomain.org/wp-content/plugins dir sometimes you drop a folder in there, other times just the plugin file.

    As far as widgets you can have a bunch of them as well.
