  hey everyone,
  disclaimer, i am an absolute beginner when it comes to blogging and WordPress.
  so, i did create my wordpress site/blog.
  and as a test, i tried adding test blog posts, to see how it looks and how the scrolling would work.
  so, here is my issue, basically, i want the user to be able to see the “bottom screen widgets and stuff”. but as i created 6 test posts, it appeared to me that, the scrolling bar of the browser simply keeps growing and growing.

  so, my issue is here, after a number of blog posts, the amount of posts that would need to be loaded would grow very large, if it keeps going to the first post i ever made, plus if it keeps auto expanding, after i make many blog posts, the user won’t be able to reach the bottom of the site/blog.

  and so, is there a way, to force a maximum number of posts to be displayed at a certain point, and if the user wants more posts, they get to click a button or something?

  (even if i could limit them, having an auto expand thing, would be a bad, because if the blog posts count is too much, it will be a lot of trouble for the user to reach the bottom screen widgets).

  i only made 6 blog posts, to test this issue so i am not really sure how it would go.
  but i’d like to know about it before i start actually blogging.
  sorry for poor english and thanks for advance.

  Note: Button 2 is the name of the theme i am using, in case it makes a difference.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
