@Zach – I do the same thing. But I find the color grouping in my CSS file very useful for when I’m too lazy to alt+tab over to PS. ;)

@Chris – it’s done by adding a code snippet containing your email addy to the foreach loop in the comments.php file of your theme. But what a great idea for a tutorial post! I’ll write up something more in depth so I don’t have to squeeze it all into the comments area. I hope you’ll check back for it!

I really like the concept of distinguishing author comments with a unique class in the CSS, but for this to happen, that unique class needs to be applied to only author comments in the XHTML. Could you explain how this is done?

I really like the idea of grouping colors so that I don’t have to use the color picker. Thanks for the tip. I don’t know why I never thought of it before. When I’m designing in Photoshop I always make a swatch that has all the main colors I’m using in the design.

No problem. It should send you a nice, steady stream of traffic for a day or two.

Simple use a CSS Framework like YAML [yaml.de] and you ‘ll have a perfect stylesheet(s).
