add a link to the account settings page to the navbar

Title:
add a link to the account settings page to the navbar

Area:
navigation bar

Summary:
The navigation bar should have a link to the Account Settings page.

Description:
Most of the time, the only Dreamwidth page I have open is my dreamroll. This means that pretty much any time I want to tinker with my Dreamwidth settings, I have to bring up a site-schemed page to get to the Account Settings page, which is annoying extra step.

And given how often people hear about new settings from the people they read, it would make sense to make the settings page accessible from the navigation strip. Especially since at this time, navstrip displays only non-site-scheme pages that therefore all require that annoying extra step of bring up a site-schemed page before you can get to Account Settings.

The only real downside I can see here is that it might clutter up the navbar unnecessarily for people who don't use Dreamwidth similarly.

I don't really have anything to add about the suggestion, but for some reason the phrase "dreamroll" makes me really, really happy and I like that a lot.

I definitely prefer it personally! It just -- sort of rolls off the tongue nicely.

(I admit I do frequently abbreviate to droll. But I figured that was less transparent terminology for people who may not hang around the same corners of the service that I do. :) )

I know that feeling! It fits, because that's what all this is- we get to refresh and scroll and see the individual dreams and hopes roll down the page.

I love technology.
