First... did you extract the zip files into modules folder?
For new pages you could install News module, AMS module, etc...
Visible in - You're probably browsing blocks admin... Just make a custom block by adding some text and set it to show on top page... you'll soon get the idea... :)
There are reasons... we need to properly test it first, before we relase it public... but pm me your email and i'll email you the module so you can help speed up the release... :)
Me and culex have been working on a new cool hack included in a module... We need some testers for the hack... If anyone is interested, send me your email on PM and i'll send you the module so you can try it... I promise you'll love it... ;)
