So I am pretty new to wordpress and am trying to clean up my site and add some organization to my posts.

I was looking through sites to try and get ideas and came across (of all things) William Shatner's blog.

If you look at the previews there are "buttons" for the author and date. How do I incorporate something like this into my site. Is it a plug in. I am not horribly comfortable with the coding yet and mainly working from the dashboard.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t see buttons, just links styled with CSS. – toscho Dec 9 '12 at 21:12

The date and author are not "buttons". They are simply CSS styled html elements.

Since your "not horribly comfortable with coding" start by getting Firebug or Chrome Web Kit Dev Tools and learn to inspect the source of that site. Find the divs with class="data-box" and div "meta-box" and see how they're styled.

Ultimately in you'll need to learn how to code CSS and modify your WordPress themes style.css file to customize it as you want.
