Add an Optimized-for-small-screens category to the Select Journal Style page

Title:
Add an Optimized-for-small-screens category to the Select Journal Style page

Area:
styles, accessibility

Summary:
Test each theme as presented in the Select Journal Style area for how well it behaves on small screens. Put the ones that work well into a category, so people who need this can find them easily. Meta-task: identify accessibility situations with distinct needs, and create theme groups specifically for them.

Description:
This is apropos of a support request where someone had decided against using Dreamwidth because it did not work well for them on a small screen out of the box. Foxfirefey put a good amount of research into finding themes and styles that worked well with small screens. This seems like a situation that will probably come up again, and not every person showing frustration will think to come to Support.

The meta-task, of identifying accessibility situations and creating theme groups for each of those (for example: small screens, light sensitivity/migraines, large font...) sounds as though it would work well paired with FAQs targeted at those same needs from a whole-site-usability standpoint: how to set site skin, where to find and change themes, etc.
