Site Scheme: More than one way to find it

Title:
Site Scheme: More than one way to find it

Area:
Styles and Site Scheme

Summary:
Making an extra link so people can find their way to Site Scheme when they've forgotten what it's called.

Description:
After forgetting what "site scheme" was called, for the umptyleventh time, and being forced to say, "The beige sidebar thingie" -- despite looking on my styles page -- I realized that it might be a very good thing to have a *link* to the Site Scheme from the Customize styles page.

(Since when I forget "site scheme" as a name, I can't FAQ-search it, and it's something that affects How I View The Site, and Styles affect how *my* pages look...)

I don't mean that the Site Scheme link should be *moved* from its current location, but having a link *also* on the http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/ page would catch both people who expect all the "how the site looks to me" to be on the "select style" (Customize) page, <I>and</I> the people who know better. In Celerity, the Select Journal Style has a nice bit of white-space below Reading Page Title, that the Site Scheme radio-buttons would fit under -- or, probably more attractively, it could go down at the bottom, next to "3. Choose a Page Setup." Maybe something like "4. Site Scheme: Choose how Main Site Pages will appear" and then the radio buttons beneath it. Or a tab or "next" button off of http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options ? "Select Site Scheme"?)

More paths to success, so I don't wind up saying "the beige sidebar thingie" when I mean "the Celerity Site Scheme"!
