Your code may be a little different , search for the starting tags
Customizing the comments area#comments-block {margin:1em 0 1.5em;line-height:1.6em;}#comments-block .comment-author {margin:.5em 0;}#comments-block .comment-body {margin:.25em 0 0;}#comments-block .comment-footer {margin:-.25em 0 2em;line-height: 1.4em;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.1em;}#comments-block .comment-body p {margin:0 0 .75em;}
Find the ]]></b:skin> line and place the following code BEFORE it!
1. Change the size of the avatar image#comments-block3 {padding:0;margin:0;float:left;overflow:hidden;}#comments {padding:0;margin:0;}#comment-name-url {width:465px;float:left;}#comment-date {width:465px;float:left;}#comment-header {float:left;border:1px dotted rgb(187, 187, 187);padding:5px 0 5px 10px;margin:5px;background: rgb(238, 238, 238);}.avatar-image-container {background:url(http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu178/coolboycsaba/no-avatar4.jpg);width:48px;height:48px;float:right;margin:5px 10px 5px 5px;}.avatar-image-container img {border: 1px solid white;width:48px;height:48px;}a.comments-autor-name {color:#088A08;font-weight:bold;font-size: 12px;font-style: normal;font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;}a.says {color:black;font-weight:bold;font-size: 12px;font-style: normal;font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;}.says a:hover {text-decoration: none;}a.comment-permalink {color:#088A08;font-weight:normal;font-size: 10px;font-style: normal;font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;}
Customize the size of the comments to fit to your template:
First change the size of the avatar images:
To change the size of the avatar images replace the red marked values to any number of pixels. Use the same at all red marked code lines..avatar-image-container {background:url(http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu178/coolboycsaba/no-avatar4.jpg);width:48px;height:48px;float:right;margin:5px 10px 5px 5px;}.avatar-image-container img {border: 1px solid white;width:48px;height:48px;}
Now change the size of the comments area:
The size of the comments area is depending on the size of the main-wrapper and on the size of the avatar image: e.g:#comment-name-url {width:465px;float:left;}#comment-date {width:465px;float:left;}
(main-wrapper)550px - (avatar image)48px - (paddings , margins and borders)37px =465px
The padding and margins size is in bold because it`s always 37px, calculate the size of your comments area size and use the result as the value of the red marked code lines.
2. Change the colors
To change the background color of the comments change the red code line , to change the color of the border change the blue code line to any color.
The padding and margins size is in bold because it`s always 37px, calculate the size of your comments area size and use the result as the value of the red marked code lines.

Change the border typesa.comments-autor-name {color:#088A08;font-weight:bold;font-size: 12px;font-style: normal;font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;}a.says {color:black;font-weight:bold;font-size: 12px;font-style: normal;font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;}a.comment-permalink {color:#088A08;font-weight:normal;font-size: 10px;font-style: normal;font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;}
Here are the border types to chose from, every comment have a border.
