 * Anyone know of a good way to allow me (as admin) to reply to a specific comment
   by say, indenting my reply to a certain comment under it and maybe changing my
   box color or something). This would be opposed to just posting another comment
   on the list of comments at random…thanks in advance.

 * podz thanks for the links…not exactly what I’m looking for, but it definitely
   gave me an idea of whats out there and how I can implement it…I may write a very
   short plugin to do exactly what Beel suggested w/o having to edit it manually….
   Thanks for the suggestions guys and I’ll let you know what I come up with.

 * Hey beel, I’ve defined an ‘adminnote’ in my css; can I just enter `<div class
   ="adminnote">` TEXT `</div>` to an entry at this point, because that doesn’t 
   seem to want to work…

 * Yeah, it wouldn’t and won’t until you add the ability to include div tags (or
   span or whatever) to comments. The allowed tags are found in the kses.php file.

 * I see you haven’t checked into my suggestion but have used the strong tag instead.
   If that is the route you wish to go, how about styling that with `<strong class
   ="adminnote">` and have:
    strong.adminnote {background:yellow}

 * Beel, I added the code to my css but was too intimidated to edit the kses.php
   once i had opened it. I’ll have to get some coaching for that. For the time being(
   and since I’m out of town away from my computer which I’m familiar w/ and without
   all my editing tools) I’ll let ‘strong’ suffice….On Sunday when I get back home
   I’ll check into editing my kses.php file. thanks for your continued concern and
   ideas!
