 * Hi,
 * By blog at – [here](http://www.macmillan-academy.org.uk/staff_blogs/mrking/)
 * I am trying to implement official comments by inner.geek.
 * I am using the empowered blue with google adsence theme. This theme has zebra
   style comments at the moment so that every other comment has a background. Ideally
   I want to change this so that only my comments have a coloured background.
 * Below is the li in the comments.php for the theme I am using. I presume this 
   is what is giving the zebra effect for the comments.
 *     ```
       <li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
       			<cite><?php comment_author_link() ?></cite> Says:
       			<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
       			<em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em>
       			<?php endif; ?>
       			<br />
   
       			<small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" title=""><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time() ?></a> <?php edit_comment_link('e','',''); ?></small>
   
       			<?php comment_text() ?>
   
       		</li>
       ```
   
 * In the installation instructions for official comments it says I can modify the
   li with this code
 * `<li class="comment <?php echo (is_wpuser_comment() ? ' commentOfficialUser' :'');?
   >" id="comment-&lt?php comment_ID() ?>">`
 * This is what I want to use, but am confused becasue of the existing zebra effect
   in place.
 * Can someone let me know what I need to do to implement this, it would be most
   aprechiated.
 * Lots of love…
 * Adrian
