 * Hv followed everything as advised here

 * Yet not working.
 * I assume the php and Li part as said by him goes in Admin-> Presentation->Theme
   Editor-> Comments
 * And the CSS goes into the stylesheet!
 * But where exactly there?
 * He says ‘comment loop’ on the comment.php page, but is ‘comment loop’
 * I guess i m too illetarate in all this! Sigh!

 * You can read about [The_Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) in the Codex.
   And a similar code should be found in the comments.php file.

 * The comments loop is pretty basic. In most comments templates it’ll start like
   this:
 * `<?php foreach($comments as $comment) { ?>`

 * Sigh, this only confused me more! Simply, where do i put both the php and css
   codes. I m sure there must be a simpler method for someone who is seeing PHP 
   for the first time in life!

 * PHP: Example from the plugin page:
 * `<li class="comment <?php echo (is_wpuser_comment() ? ' commentOfficialUser' :'');?
   >" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">`
 * This means whatever your comments is using to define a comment block, make use
   of the class attribute for it (or add one if it doesn’t have it) and stick in
   the `<?php .. ?>` portion echoing out the proper value. Most comment templates
   will have each comment in an `<li>` (list) element, hence the example provided.
 * CSS: Goes into your stylesheet.

 * Really sorry to be so much troublesome. But I still dont get it at all. My bad
   day I suppose!
 * I have now found the loop, and done the following:
 * <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
 * <?php if(is_wpuser_comment() != 0) {echo “Official”;} ?>
 * <li class=”comment <?php echo (is_wpuser_comment() ? ‘ commentOfficialUser’ :”);?
   >” id=”comment-&lt?php comment_ID() ?>”>
 * IN the Style sheet I have put this up:
 * /* Begin Comments*/
    .alt { margin: 0; padding: 10px; }
 * .commentlist {
    padding: 0; text-align: justify; }
 * .commentlist li {
    margin: 15px 0 3px; padding: 5px 10px 3px; list-style: none;}
 * .commentlist p {
    margin: 10px 5px 10px 0; }
 * .commentOfficialUser {
    border: 1px solid black; background-color: #999999 }
 * BUT – All I get is one small thin grey strip OVER the comment.
 * ALL I WANT to do is – have my comments in a solid colored box, so that they are
   differentiated.
 * Would also want the word “Official” to go, as it doesnt gel well, and merges 
   into the comment over it! I removed it from the quotes after ‘echo’, and it seemed
   to go, but was that the right thing to do?
 * As of now its looking like this:[http://www.deepakjeswal.com/?p=9#comments](http://www.deepakjeswal.com/?p=9#comments)
 * Once again apologies for being a pain!
