Mutual Interests Magic: add option to filter to personal journals OR communities (not just both)

Area:
explore

Summary:
On http://www.dreamwidth.org/interests, there's a very nifty option allowing you to find journals matching your or someone else's interests ("Find people or communities with interests similar to those of:"). I'd like to be able to refine the results to 'just people' or 'just communities'.

Description:
Or directly to be able to search for 'just people' or 'just communities'.

theme blurbs to describe each theme for screen reader users

Title:
theme blurbs to describe each theme for screen reader users

Area:
themes for DW journals and communities

Summary:
I often find that with a lot of blogs and such, that choosing themes can be difficult, especially as there is little if any description to help me decide. As I cannot physically see these, I'd love to see implemented a descriptive blurb giving a detailed and concise lay of the visual landscape so to speak, this would be most innovative and so cool!

Description:
1: I think by providing a blurb for each theme, this would allow blind users and those with some degree of sight loss the opportunity to be on a level with our fellow DW users, and why not, it is a wonderful opportunity to provide a great way to make DW more inclusive, perhaps with this extending to more visual landscapes over time we could find ourselves sought after by other blogs to incorporate such a landmark addition to the site.

Logistics, well I'm no tech minded person, but conceivably such blurbs could be placed under a link - cut of some kind, as blind users rely on keystrokes and not mouse usage, a simple html solution is a great way to make the site more fun and keeps everything neat and tidy for all of us.

I don't foresee any real disadvantages, I do see that implementation could start with current and future themes etc, and slowly over time, add this feature to all DW visual themes and perhaps this might be something to explore with other visual content where applicable and advantageous to members like me.

I humbly offer this as my contribution to DW access! ^_^
