Highlight Author Comments in WordPress

Today I was reading over some information about using Google Apps with your own domain and I just happened to see a post about highlighting authors comments in WordPress. I’ve seen it all the time in Techcrunch and I really like that they do that. I’ve just always been too lazy to change my template to search for how it was done. Turns out that it’s really easy. In fact, the link I sent above makes it sound harder than it really is.

I basically added an If the comment author email equals the admin’s email account, then list a style. Otherwise, don’t change the style of the comments. How do you like that pseudocode? Anyway, it was really easy to do if you know php and css. As I did it, I realized that my css still needs a lot of work. However, I think it turned out pretty good. I think the comments look much nicer with a little color.

An Informal Non-scientific Poll of Posties Stats

I decided that I would start a little poll of various posties to get an idea of what kind of traffic posties are generating to their site. So, I’m going to try and gather the following info:
Pageviews
Visitors
Visits
Google PR
Alexa
Most page views in a day (basically the most page views your blog has experienced in a day)

For the statistics ones, just do the average for a week. Preferably choose a “normal” week that didn’t include a big spike in traffic. Feel free to leave the information anonymously in the comments or email them to me if you don’t want them as part of this post.

It would also be interesting to know how much you’ve made with PPP, but that’s definitely optional.

Of course, I’ll be soliciting people I know to get even more data.
