Because the home page for Genesis and our themes are so flexible, pagination would not work well. We would need to limit the flexibility of the home page in order to add that feature and we chose to stick with flexibility. Your readers should still be able to navigate your site with a well established menu.
Another reason not to focus on making the homepage an endless list of posts to scroll through is simply user experience. The purpose of any home page is to drive visitors deeper into the website, leading them to the page that has what they’re looking for (like a recipe index page), with a call-to-action. Your most important pages (About / Contact, your ebook/book/courses, recipe indexes) should be properly configured in your navigation menu. Unless you’re reddit or a magazine, almost nobody is interested in scrolling through your posts.
The vast majority of people are there to find a specific recipe, or topic you covered, and more often than not they will land directly on that page from the search engines and never even see your home page.
One option to get around this is to add a text link at the bottom of your home page that goes to your blog. Something like this should work well:
<div align=”right”> <a href=”http://yoursite.com/blog”>See More →</a> </div>
If you scroll down a bit on this page you’ll see a video tutorial explaining the process: http://minimalistbaker.com/resources/foodie-pro-genesis-child-theme-master-setup-and-customization-guide/. This video tutorial is for the Foodie Pro theme, but it works the same with Brunch Pro and Cook’d Pro.
