How to highlight the author comment

In some blogs I’ve seen the author comment is unique and specially formatted. So that readers can easily notice the comment of author of the blog since they are different than the other comments. If you like this trick to be made on your blogger blog, you can follow the steps below.

1.Log in to your dashboard–> layout- -> Edit HTML
2.Click on “Expand Widget Templates”
3.Scroll down to where you see this:-

]]></b:skin>

4.Copy below code and put it before ]]></b:skin>

.comment-body-author {
background: #E6E6E6; /* Background color*/
color: #000; /* Text color*/
border-top: 1px dotted #223344;border-bottom: 1px dotted #223344;border-left: 1px dotted #223344;border-right: 1px dotted #223344;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 0 20px; /* Posotion*/
}

5.Now Scroll down to where you see this:-

<dl id=’comments-block’>
<b:loop values=’data:post.comments’ var=’comment’>
<dt class=’comment-author’ expr:id='”comment-” + data:comment.id’>
<a expr:name='”comment-” + data:comment.id’/>
<b:if cond=’data:comment.authorUrl’>
<a expr:href=’data:comment.authorUrl’ rel=’nofollow’><data:comment.author/></a>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.author/>
</b:if>
said…
</dt>
<dd class=’comment-body’>
<b:if cond=’data:comment.isDeleted’>
<data:comment.body/>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.body/>
</b:if>
</dd>

6.Replace above code with below code.

<dl id=’comments-block’>
<b:loop values=’data:post.comments’ var=’comment’>
<dt class=’comment-author’ expr:id='”comment-” + data:comment.id’>
<a expr:name='”comment-” + data:comment.id’/>
<b:if cond=’data:comment.authorUrl’>
<a expr:href=’data:comment.authorUrl’ rel=’nofollow’><data:comment.author/></a>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.author/>
</b:if>
said…
</dt>
<b:if cond=’data:comment.author == data:post.author’>
<dd class=’comment-body-author’>
<data:comment.body/>
</dd>
<b:else/>
<dd class=’comment-body’>
<b:if cond=’data:comment.isDeleted’>
<data:comment.body/>
<b:else/>
<data:comment.body/>
</b:if>
</dd>
</b:if>
