Author comments are very much important on the blog which makes the visitors to participate in the discussion. If the author comments are customized and highlighted differently from the visitors comments, the author comments would be very prominent and will encourage the visitors to participate in the discussion on the blog post. The discussion on a blog post will always help a blogger to identify what the visitors response for the post and what more they are looking from the author.

<b:if cond='data:comment.author == data:post.author'>
<p style='color: limegreen; font-weight:bold;'><data:comment.body/></p>
<b:else/>

8. The color highlighting code is applied in this <p style="color: limegreen; font-weight:bold;"> inline styling. You can change the text style any way you like. For example, to italicize, just add font-style:italic by separating each property with a semicolon.
You can even replace text color limegreen with your preferred color. To replace use CSS Colornames or Hex color code. Hex color code must be preceded by a pound (#) sign, e.g. #FFD700.
