 * In the “Comment Test” post from the Theme Unit Test that WP gives I dont understand
   what it means by:
    Author comment is highlighted differently
 * It seems like they are all pretty much the same, even on WP approved sites.
 * Please explain
 * Thanks

 * davidzs,
 * Not all themes have author highlighting enabled, but it’s a recommended practice.
   Especially for long, long comment lists! It helps you scan the comments quickly
   and see the author’s replies easily.
 * Since WordPress 2.7 the [wp_list_comments](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_comments)
   template tag outputs an automatic class attribute for each comment which can 
   be used to style author comments separately from normal comments.
 * If you want to dig into this and create your own author highlighting styles, 
   here’s a great tutorial from ThemeLab: [Highlight Author Comments in WordPress, The Easier Right Way](http://www.themelab.com/2010/03/02/highlight-author-comments-in-wordpress/).
