Monty asked about comment highlighting based on author.
Even though this isn't a plugin, I thought this could work similar to the way I was doing comment highlighting
Again, after your comment loop:
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) { ?>
Add the following (with edits as neccessary) :
<?php
$isByAuthor = false;
if($comment->comment_author_email == 'YOUR-EMAIL') {
$isByAuthor = true;
}
?>
Then before your comment text begins (with <?php comment_text() ?>) add this:
<?php if($isByAuthor ) { echo '<div class="authorcomment">';} ?>
To close the DIV tag – BEFORE the ending LI tag for the comment add this
<?php if($isByAuthor ) { echo '</div>';} ?>
Then add a style "authorcomment" to your style sheet. Style however you like.
Then as long as you use that email when you comment – the comment will be highlighted.
