Re: Special Member Acknowledgement?
The author ID should be pretty constant no matter what you do with migration or upgrade. The worst thing about it is that you will be hard coding the author ID in your style.css. You could always create a plugin and make an admin page, but if it’s not going to happen too often, simply editing the style.css should not be too bad. I can imagine a couple different classes (super member, cool dude, expert, pro, etc) then for each of those defined classes you would just add to the members that applies to:
.pro, .author-14, .author-355, .author-84 {
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #666;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
}
You would just add more .author- classes to your CSS to have that new author highlighted like others of the same stature.
