The one site I did something similar to this on was:

   http://start.iblp.org/

A friend of mine actually did the coding though. I think she used the 
same ALA article that you refer to.

The presentation is also nice:

   Select a theme: clean | periwinkle | olive | midnight | tropical

Perhaps ours could say:

   Stylesheet: Default | Low Vision ...

Would you be able to pull this together Hugh? Be sure to put as much of 
the javascript into a separate file.
