/**
 * Infinite Scroll
 * Used on all pages where there is a list of posts (homepage, tag index, etc).
 *
 * When the page is scrolled to 300px from the bottom, the next page of posts
 * is fetched by following the the <link rel="next" href="..."> that is output
 * by {{ghost_head}}.
 *
 * The individual post items are extracted from the fetched pages by looking for
 * a wrapper element with the class "post-card". Any found elements are appended
 * to the element with the class "post-feed" in the currently viewed page.
