Yeah, this is great feedback. Thanks Tim!! I’m going to have to rethink how I present comments. Think think think…

The alternating background colors look weird. For example, on this post, I see a bunch of comments with white backgrounds (matching the page background), and only a couple with a special, highlighted light blue background — those appear to my eyes as special comments, likely by the blog author. Of course, that’s not quite right.

If you’re going to use alternating backgrounds, pick two colors that don’t match the page or comment area background and have roughly the same “highlight effect” to them.

Got it! The plug-in worked, pretty easy too. I picked an ugly background color, haha. I’ll have to fix that later tonight. Thanks all!

That’s awesome, thanks Jake! Man, just checking ol’ fixpert on the PC — my site looks like crap on the PC, the fonts look like doodoo without font smoothing (or whatever they call it in Windows) turned off. But I digress.

Thanks again Jake!
