How to highlight author comments in WordPress

1. Changing my theme to add an “authercomment” style

   I edited style.css and near the bottom added these lines:

.authcomment{background-color: #B3FFCC !important;}

2. Editing my comments.php file to add a little code

   My comments.php file had a line that looked like this:

<li class=”<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>” id=”comment…

  and I changed it to more or less look like this:

<li class=”<?php /* Only use the authcomment class from style.css if the user_id is 1 (admin) */ if (1 == $comment->user_id)$oddcomment = “authcomment”;echo $oddcomment;?>” id=”comment…

  That’s about it
