Design

UI/UX

Users are more likely to scroll all the way down than to click on the next page button since it requires another loading time and changing the method of using keyboard/mouse. Therefore, it’s better to have all of your posts in one page, and load them incrementally.

Font

Use a comic like font such as the font of this blog
