 * The otherday, I tried to upgrade but it didn’t work, and when I went back in,
   I saw some of my customizations were gone. One of which is if I left a commentt
   on a post the style should be used wou1d be authorcomment. I am getting a T_error,
   my code looks like:
 * <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
    <li id=”comment-<?php comment_ID()?
   >” class=” <?php if (comment_author_email() == the_author_email()) {echo ‘authorcomment’;}
   else {echo “commentlist-comment” <?php echo $oddcomment; ?>}?>”>
 * The original code looks like:
    <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?> <li
   id=”comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>” class=”commentlist-comment <?php echo $oddcomment;?
   >”>
 * Any hints?

 * For your list tag’s ‘class’ code try:
 * `<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"
    class="<?php if (get_comment_author_email()
   == get_the_author_email()) { echo 'authorcomment '; } else { echo 'commentlist-
   comment '; } echo $oddcomment; ?>">

 * That doesn’t work, it always goes to class=”commentlist-comment”. Plus those 
   two functions aren’t listed on the template tags page.
 * EDIT: Ok now it’s works
