I've got proper coding work to do, but my brain isn't working straight, so I've been hacking my layout again. Almost certainly Dreamwidth specific as they only work because the Devs put a lot of effort into Classes for CSS tricks within the base code.
Two little tricks, both done through the Customize Journal Style CSS page, dead easy.
Let's start with you, the entry author. This is a generic tweak, so can be done on a Community as well. Simply put the following code in at the bottom of any other CSS you have there:
( Code for making your own comments appear differently, and then for individual named users )
Sorted.
( Code for Feed icons and for individual account icons )
All straightforward hackery, typing it all up took longer than actually doing it. An example of the comment colours in action can be found here. Next up on my layout posts should be a tutorial for the 'sharethis' widgets, but that'll take a bit more time and screenshotting, so don't hold your breath. Linkspam post may follow later, but I have a bath to get into.

Custom comment colours
First is to give a regular commenter a custom colour in the comments box. Can only be done for logged in DW users, unfortunately, an OpenID user has .s in their name and that breaks CSS, might get that fixed but it needs a change in the base code. So, if you want to give commenters their own custom appearance (this includes yourself, naturally) in your comments box, here's how:Let's start with you, the entry author.

Feed icons on Reading page
On a reading page, an icon only displays for accounts and journals that use userpics--feeds, having no userpic, get nothing displayed. That's fine, except I like the visual trigger if I'm scanning, so I've figured out how to get the feed logo to display in place of a userpic:( Code for Feed icons and for individual account icons )
