Basically, you install mods into your Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override file path.
The mod authors on http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/? will tell you how to install their mods in their descriptions. Most mods you just drop the main folder (after unzipping it with 7-zip or WinRAR) in that path and your good.

you have to extract it with WinRAR or 7-Zip.

Right click on it, and look for Extract to [foldername]

After you have downloaded the .zip file of DAModder, you extract it wherever you want the modmanager to be. From th eextracted content there should be a file called "DAModder.exe". Launch it. You will now have a window where all your installed mods and DLC will be shown. It should be able to automatically find your installation folder, so you can start modding right away.

Any future mod you download from now on (choose manual download) will give you either a .dazip file, a zip file, or a .rar file. Either kind works the same in this case. Then just drag and drop this dazip/zip/rar file to your DAModder window, and it will install it for you in seconds. In some cases it might complain with a pop up window, but then that usually just means that you need to open the rar/zip file and extract its content straight into DAModder. Then it should work as intended.

Note that there are some specific mods that will need to be installed in a very specific way, where DAModder wont help you, most notably:
Improved atmosphere
Dragon age redesigned.
There are however clear installation instructions for these mods in the readmes. And you should ALWAYS read the readme either way.
