When you try to add a widget (in admin) you filll up the form which has various information such as widget name, widget description. On the next page it also asks for "widget" which is very confusing. You wonder you just now gave information about widget and now why it is asking widget information again. If this is the block code or node code you expect, please make it clear on that page.

@ajayg - Thank you for the feedback.

There is some documentation in the README.txt file - but happy to elaborate on that a bit.

In the widget administrator, when you are adding a widget, it asks for 5 things initially:

1) Widget Title - this is the name users will see when viewing the widget in the widget selection page.

2) Widget Description - this is a short description users will see when viewing the widget in the widget selection page.

3) Widget Thumbnail - this was added to comply with the specs for Drupal.org. You can use this field to upload a thumbnail for the widget.

4) Widget Tags - these tags are used to organize widgets. Users will see a list of tags when selecting widgets for their dashboards.

5) NODE or BLOCK - select what type of a widget you are adding here.

On the second page of the administrator, there is an autocomplete field called Widget. Select a node or a block by name, and it will be added here.

When you click the submit button on the final page, the widget will be created and made available to users on your site.

Your message implies people are being asked to enter code to select nodes or blocks. This is not the case, the way you select a block or a node is through the autocomplete field.

I request you to make a minor change.

This is the part that is not clear. Perhaps adding a simple description or above text line (below the field lable widget) will make it clear. Although it is an autocomplete field it is not clear what to start there. I just stared at the blank screen confused (I am perhaps less tha average guy and not smart enough to figure it out)
