Add Colors And Hover Effect To Authors comments on blogger

Author Comments Screenshot

You can see my comments have a different background and font color.I have set my comments to have a black background with White text.I also have a hover effect so with the cursor over the second comment the color changes to a Grey background with White text.

I have used black and white (Grey And Black On Hover) but you can use any colors you like to suit your template.

This tutorial does include making changes within section of code so make sure to back up your template and take your time.

.comment-body-author {
-moz-border-radius: 15px;
border-radius: 15px;
background: #000000; /* BG color*/
color: #ffffff; /* Font color*/
border-top: 1px dotted #223344;border-bottom: 1px dotted #223344;border-left: 1px dotted #223344;border-right: 1px dotted #223344;

}

Note - The colors (Hex) are highlighted in red above and can be changed.To get the Hex code for the colors you want go to this chart - Hex Code Color Chart.

Step 4. Save Your Template, But we are not finished.

In the next step you need to find a section of code in your template and add two extra snippets of code to it.When testing this i found older and custom Blogger templates are different to templates from the Blogger templates designer.For that reason i have two separate methods.The first is for people with Blogger templates that are not from the template designer the second is for templates from the template designer....Got It ....
