Design: better post metadata placement

[kizu]

I think that the placement of different metadata around the post could be a bit better:

1. It would be nice to write the Author's name somewhere in the header (in addition to the whole snippet at the bottom).
2. It would be better to have not only the translation publication date, but the date of the original post a well, as for a lot of topics it is a must-have info.
3. The original date could be placed at the top, near the author's name.
4. Both original and translation dates could be placed at the bottom inside the snippets.
5. The “social likes” should be placed at the bottom.
6. If the post have a subtitle, like the one for Graphical Interface, it should be a subtitle too.

Overall direction that could be taken for the design could be the one I use at my site in the footer: we can describe the article using its metadata in a human-readable form, so for Graphical Interface header it could look like this:

# Graphical interface

## A shaped emotion, a message in a well-defined system

_[written by Danil Kovchiy on April 25](https://medium.com/@kovchiy/70bb2d0d58be)_

This way the header would have all the info you could need about the article: the title, the author's name, when it was written and the link to the original, and it wouldn't destroy or interfere with the design, as it would become a part of the content.

The same thing could be done to the “Author/translator” snippets at the bottom. Instead of “Author / Danil Kovchiy / [contact info]” it could be “Written by / Danil Kovchiy / 25th April 2014” / [contact info]” and for translation: “Translated by / Max Shirshin / 30th June 2014 / [contact info]”.

Nice ideas, thank you. I will split this list into taks soon.

Subtitle of articles: #63
Author name below the header: #64
Original article date: #65
Social icons below the article: #66
I've decided not to remove social icons from the beginnig because they have nice numbers of sharing and this helps to attract people and shows that the content deserves their time to read.
Human-readable snippets of author and translator: #67
