Fixpert

Ok, now that you guys solved the question of changing the background color on my comments after posts, I was wondering if I should also add gravatars to the comments? Do you guys have gravatars? Just curious if you use them, like ‘em, etc.

Thanks again guys!

I want to be all spiffy and change the background color on my comments on Fixpert so that when I’m scanning the comments on a post, it’s easier for me to skip over what I said. Seems like it will be helpful for my readers too, I don’t expect that it will get in their way at all.

There is probably a PHP-based solution for this, but PHP is not my forte. Instead, my idea is to use DOM Scripting to look for any comments where the value of the href is http://www.fixpert.com. Then once that particular link is identified, I can walk up the DOM to its parent li and assign it a class of site-admin. Then tweak the background color in the stylesheet.

Thoughts? Is this a dumb way to attack this problem? Thanks guys!
