then just use a custom field named author-comment (or whatever) with the text you want and apply the style as you want.
Alternatively, if your theme doesn't use excerpts, then you can simply place the_excerpt() there, so you'll only need to add an excerpt to display that text, and if you don't input anything, then nothing will be displayed. |
Bingo, that did the trick. 
Thanks everyone. |
