I want to add the Image Block module. I uploaded it to my modules directory on the server. I then when to activate it per the instructions below, and don't even see a "modules" link on the "site admin" page. This is the first module I'm adding, so I never noticed this before.
I'm assuming I should see a link for "modules" on the left hand nav of the site admin. Is there something I need to do so I can see/access this link? Thanks in advance for your help.
INSTRUCTIONS
# Download the module from the download page if necessary. The minimal and typical package of G2 don't include this module.
# Install and activate the module in site admin -> modules
# Configure some settings in site admin -> Image Blocks
# Add image blocks to your sidebar in site admin -> themes -> matrix (or for any other active/used theme)
# You can configure each image block separately: See How to Setup Image Blocks

It's called "plugins". Please update the documentation!

Yes, in G2 there were originally referred to modules internally and externally. The somewhere along the way they were externally referred to what changed to plugins. It's the same thing. The term is interchangeable. I sure as heck hope we don't change terms mid-stream with G3.
I've updated the documentation for that plugin/module, but I'm not even going to attempt to clean up the G2 docs. We're working on and focusing on G3 and I will fight tooth and nail against any change of terms once G3 is officially released.
