I've spent the past half hour looking for a way to highlight the comments that are posted by the blog author and I have only managed to find a few solutions, most of which are 2-3 years old. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this goal with either a recently released plugin or tutorial of how to code this functionality into my comments.php file.
So no one knows how to do this within wordpress 2.3?
I still use the Author Highlight plugin that can be found here:
http://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 http://rmarsh.com/plugins/highlight-comments/ Author Highlight Comments. Very nice plugin and fits the bill perfectly.
