Minecraft: Can't turn on my mod or use them?

Here is the Mod I'm trying get. Http://www.skydaz.com/herobrine-mod-installer-for-minecraft-1-7-2/

This will be my very first mod I tied to add to the game. I been looking videos up on youtube about adding mods. Best thing saw was this web site called skydaz. Here video that talked about the skydaz site and how you download/install mods

I went though it all and it added it for me. The game dosen't start with the mod and there's nothing on my start up screen that says anything about mods I got added. Here link of how my start up screen looks if it helps. Minecraft: Can t turn on my mod or use them

Looking how turn mods on I came across Run> %appdata% > .minecraft > mod > (mod name) edit with note pad and chaging somthing from flase to ture. Well I can't do that because when I do I get bunch of random text I can't read. Its because its a.jar file…

What am I doing wrong?

Name of my file herobrinemod-148.jar
Using latest version of MineCraft
-Using Window 7 computer-

Added (1). Minecraft: Can t turn on my mod or use them - 1

Your problem may be that you're using the latest version of Minecraft, which is now 1.7.9. The mod is for version 1.7.2, so what you may need to do is change your Minecraft version to 1.7.2, and the mod should work fine. Although with the Herobrine mod, you also have to have Forge installed for the same version as the mod version. If you do those things, you should be able to play with the mod.
