 * Hello there, I was wondering if it’s possible to highlight the comments made 
   by the post author in the comments section of an article? All I’m looking for
   is to add just a small image saying ‘author’ next to the comment but I’m not 
   sure how.
 * Thanks for any replies I get! 🙂

 * most newer themes which are using ‘wp_list_comments()’ in comments.php do output
   the class `.bypostauthor` for any comments or replies made by the post author;
   you can use this for styling, for instance for outputting a background image…
