Got there in the end

This doesn't seem to work.. I've changed the second line to what you suggested but I don't understand the second part….

Do I have to insert this line => ?

If so, where do I have to insert it..

And in my Stylesheet I still have this:

–

div.mycomment {

clear: both;

width: 98%;

background: #73BE1E;

padding: 4px;

margin-bottom: 8px;

}

–

Do I need to change this or what?

Thnx for your time and answers btw!

You need to change the second line of the code you posted in that text file from

<code><div class="comment"></code>

to

<code><div class="comment<?php if ($comment->user_id == get_the_author_ID()) echo ' mycomment'; ?>"></code>

Which should then give you the output for your own comments as

<code><div class="comment mycomment"></code>

As you've already got a class attribute in the div my original code has been altered slightly as you don't need to output a second class attribute, just put the two classes in the same attribute.

Let me know if that works

I see that I can't insert the relevant code in my comment so I've put the relevant code here:
http://www.bioteck.net/comments.txt

I have tried what you wrote, but I can't get it working..

I've added the code like this:

<div class="comment"user_id == get_the_author_ID()) echo ' class="mycomment"'; ?>>

and then styled the div.mycomment (I copied my div.comment elements and only changed the background colour) like this:

div.mycomment {

clear: both;

width: 98%;

background: #73BE1E;

padding: 4px;

margin-bottom: 8px;

}

So, again, what am I doing wrong?

Here's the relevant code of my comments.php:

–

<a name="comment-" id="comment-" >

comment_approved == '0') : ?>

Thank you for your comment. Your comment is now awaiting moderation.

I hope this will help…

<code><div class="comment"></code>

This is what you would need to find in your comments.php file and then add

<code><?php if ($comment->user_id == get_the_author_ID()) echo ' mycomment'; ?></code>

Before the second double quote. Then in your CSS stylesheet you would style div.mycomment.

If that doesn't make sense then you'll need to post up the relevant code from your comments.php file so that I can see it and then explain where to put the code.

Nice article! I just tried to do what you told, but nothing happened.

I put the code you mention in my comment.php instead of the "old" code.

Then I put li.mycomment in my css and styled it, but then again nothing happend.

So what am I doing wrong? Can you help me please?

As for my last statement. The code adds a class of 'mycomment' to the list item, so in your CSS you would then target your comments as the post author by styling li.mycomment in your stylesheet.

I tried your method, put the code you mention in the 15th line but nothing happen.

and what does the last statement "You can then style the mycomment class in your CSS file to distinguish it." means???

I really need to put this trick in my blog, would appreciate if you can help thoroughly.

Thanks
