Do you see your own comments hidden with other comments on your blog?  What if you want to highlight your own comments and let your readers know quickly what have you responded?  Will not it be cool?
I am providing below a copy and paste type of method, which I am sure should work with all the Blogger blogs.
Also I am highlighting the part which I have modified so if you know a little bit of CSS, you might want to modify your template yourself.  So here it goes:
  1. First and foremost, BACKUP your template.  Don’t held me responsible if something goes wrong.
  2. Now Expand widget templates.
  3. Add the following styling code just before the ]]></b:skin> code:

    .blog-author-comment {
    margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
    padding: 5px 5px 5px 10px;
    color: #000000;
    border:0px solid #121605;
    background:#c7da45;
    }

  4. Search for <dd class=’comment-body’>
  5. The code which is to be replaced is:

    <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>

  6. Just highlight the code mentioned in Step 5 above and replace it with the following:

    <b:if cond=’data:comment.adminClass == data:post.adminClass’>
    <dd class=’blog-author-comment’>
    <p><data:comment.body/></p>
    </dd>
    <b:else/>
    <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>
    </b:if>

  7. You should preview it before saving, so that it shows you any code/HTML errors.  If there are no errors, save your template.
  8. View any post on your blog with your own comments on it.  You should see your comments highlighted in there.
  9. You may play around with color codes in Step 3 to match it with your theme.
  10. As an example of how you would see it, see the image above.
Let me know if it works for you.  Was it easy enough to highlight your own comments?  Did you face any issue in modifying your template?  If not, enjoy your blog with highlighted author comments.
By the way, Amanda on BloggerBuster has a similar tutorial, but I found it a little hard to follow.  You might want to check it out too.
Update 1: Modified Step 6 as per the recommendation from techniqueal t. in comment # 8.  Thanks techniqueal t. for the suggestion.
