A web agency weblog

Reading a Douglas’s post about underlining text in Illustrator, I noticed how his own comments are highlighted.

Douglas uses Movable Type, so I went to WordPress forums and quickly found this article.

These are the easy steps:

Edit your comments template in WordPress and before starting the loop:

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) { ?>

include the following:

<?php
$isByAuthor = false;
if($comment->comment_author_email == 'YOUR-EMAIL') {
$isByAuthor = true;
}
?>

then, before starting the comment text, add:

<?php if($isByAuthor ) { echo '<div class="authorcomment">';} ?>

and before closing the list element (li), include:

<?php if($isByAuthor ) { echo '</div>';} ?>

You should create a class called authorcomment in your CSS.

That’s it!
