   Hi there,
   Am trying to add a class to the comments generated section of the code so that I can style the title of my own posts.
   Using the Blix theme asa base currently by default it displays..
   <li id="comment-1" class="comment">
   <p class="header">1.

   and for next post.

   <li id="comment-2" class="comment">
   <p class="header alt">2.

   next post reverts back to class="header"

   I wanted to add another class for my posts ie. class="header me"
   and the relevant php for comments.php

   I have managed to style the text part of the post from a tutorial I found here, http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/commentstyling/
   and even wrapped the date and time into authors comment,
   but can't get rid of header box, would rather add class to it anyway.
   A bit long winded-apologies, hope I have been clear, any help would be appreciated. Cheers

   If you want to get rid of the special header box for all comments, you can just comment out <!-- --> the part in comments.php, that outputs the header.

   If you want to keep it, but apply a different style, you can do it the same way you styled the text part of the authors comment. You already have the class="comment" and class="commentalt" ( or something like that ).
   You can use the same test you do for the text, and make a new ( meta data ) header and set the style = "header_me" for those comment headers that match.

   Apologies for the long winding and imprecise answer ;)
   Hope it helps!

   Thanks for your answer, I kind of know what I need to do,
   but getting the correct configuration is eluding me.

   <li id="comment-<?php echo $commentcount ?>" class="<?php comment_type('comment','trackback','pingback'); ?>">
   <p class="header<?php echo $commentalt; ?>"><?php echo $commentcount ?>.

   I'm thinking I need to add $commentme, after commentalt in the above.
   And:
   add commentme in the following code

   <?php
   $isByAuthor = false;
   if($comment->comment_author_email == 'you@your_email_address') {
   $isByAuthor = true;
   }
   ?>

   changing the

   if($comment->comment_author_email ==

   to if($header->headerme ==

   But ERRORS all over how I try

   I am a right proper php novice and shouldn't be dabbling with things I don't understand,
   but here I am, up to my neck.
   If you need more code, or you have the time any further guidance would be appreciated.

   Thanks again, just had a quick look at your blog v nice, will bookmark for a longer look later. Cheers
