Infinite homepage scroll prevents quick footer access

[ryansechrest]

When you're on the homepage (or tags page), posts keep loading when you reach the bottom.

That is quite convenient for keeping the visitor engaged, but it does prevent a visitor from accessing links in the footer until all posts on the website have loaded.

One thought is to include a [load more] button that loads more posts after the initial ones.

Then the visitor can quickly reach the footer, but also continue browsing more posts if they're interested.

Does this seem like a good idea or is there a better way for the visitor to access the footer on those particular pages?
