Please, I am very confused and need answers. This thing is driving me nuts.

Ok, so there's 3 download on that website. One is the bare .jar file, one is the installer (.exe), and one is the "InstallerCreator."
If you have the driverstation installed and updated, using the installer will automatically change the driverstation's dashboard over to the SmartDashboard, and install the SmartDashboard in the Program Files folder on your computer. Do this, if you have not already.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\SmartDashboard\extensions. Drop your custom extensions in that folder. Now go back up one directory and double-click the smartdashboard .jar. Your static extensions should now show up under View>Add
