Blog Author Comment Highlighting

So no one knows how to do this within wordpress 2.3?

I still use the Author Highlight plugin that can be found here:

https://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/AuthorHighlight

I still use it to this day and find it very effective.

On my blog (in the theme’s comments.php), I just check whether the commenter’s email address matches mine. If so, I wrap the comment in a special <div class="myComment"> which changes the colors.

Kafkesqui wrote a nice explanation of how to implement that in your template in this thread

Not too long after I made this post, I came across https://rmarsh.com/plugins/highlight-comments/ Author Highlight Comments. Very nice plugin and fits the bill perfectly.
