   I'm using WP 1.5 and a hacked up version of the Kubrick theme. I changed the code exameple here:
   http://blog.deconcept.com/2004/11/13/wordpress-author-comment-highlighting/
   ...so it works with the alternate highlighting in Kubrick. In the comments.php file replace this (should be line 29):
   <li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

   ...with this line:
   <li class="<?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == "you@youraddress.com") echo 'mycomment'; else echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

   Then add this to your syle.css:
   li.mycomment {
background-color: #FFFFF7;
border: solid 1px #5B0100;
}

   Works fine for me. See it in practice here:

   This is how I addapted it for two authors :)

   Then of course make your style sheets different.

   <li class="<?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == "email1@gmail.com") echo 'christopher'; else if ($comment->comment_author_email == "email2@gmail.com") echo 'christine'; else echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

   Is there a way of doing this by fetching the author's email direct from WordPress?

   What if you have 20+ writers on a blog? it wouldnt make sense to go into comments.php each time I have a new user, right? I bet there is a more efficient way.

   Mod to Simon's original:

   <li class="<?php if ( $comment->comment_author_email == get_the_author_email() ) echo 'authorcomment'; else echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">

   Change the .mycomment class to .authorcomment in the css.

   Thanks Kaf, I was looking at the functions on how to do this, and thought, maybe it's already been asked in the forums, and lo and behold, it had. Worked like a charm.
