 * I would like a function that would act precisely like the “more” button at the
   bottom of any Twitter page, to load a new batch of posts below the existing batch,
   on the same page. The result would be one long page of posts.
 * Thoughts?

 * You could probably pull it off with jQuery. You’d just set your posts to display…
   well basically all of them – probably with a query (query_posts(‘showposts=-1’);
   I believe, will show all posts)
 * You’d have to use jQuery to set how many to hide or show, and then use the toggle
   or show/hide function to do it. The *issue*, I believe, would actually be on *
   loading* so many of them. With jQuery, you’re loading them all, then show/hiding
   on the page. So if you have thousands of posts, your page would be loading for
   a long time.
 * It’s possible, but you’d probably want to think about the load time. perhaps,
   instead, load 50 posts per page (without a query), and set the jQuery to “show”
   every 10 posts. Once it hits 50, the default archiving system should take over.

 * There has to be a better way than that. Loading everything is not only impractical,
   it actually accomplishes precisely the opposite of my aim… to make loading more
   efficient and user controlled.
 * Twitter does it… it can’t be impossible.
 * Any other suggestions? JQuery is totally not my area of expertise, so if anyone
   has a suggestion, some code and/or instructions would be MUCH appreciated.
 * Thanks!
