You can see the example in my blog. Here is what to do to make a “Highlight Author Comment” effect in Blogspot.

  1. Login to blogger, then choose “Design –> Edit HTML”. Don’t forget to backup your template first.
  2. Check the “Expand Widget Templates” box.
  3. Copy this script and put it before ]]></b:skin> or copy to your CSS area.
    .comment-body-author {
background: #E6E6E6;<span style="color: red;"> /* Background color*/</span>

border-top: 1px dotted #223344;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #223344;

}
  4. Then Find this Code
    <dd class='comment-body'>
<b:if cond='data:comment.isDeleted'>
<span class='deleted-comment'><data:comment.body/></span>
<b:else/>
<p><data:comment.body/></p>
</b:if>
</dd>
  5. Then Replace the above code with the below code
    <b:if cond='data:comment.author == data:post.author'>

</dd>
<b:else/>

</b:if>
</dd>
</b:if>
  6. Then Preview and Save your Template.
