Did you read the page in the wiki about components?
http://get-simple.info/wiki/components
You have to create the components and then add the component code in your template. For what I know the functions.php file is not for that.
See: http://get-simple.info/wiki/theme:advanced
The buttons you rever to are just links to the components. If you have like a list of 8 or more components, they are easier to find.
What might also be interesting is getPageContent(), details over here: http://get-simple.info/wiki/themes:template_tags (second).
This way you can make content boxes from pages and so make it easier for clients to edit the content.
