[My combined feed](https://seirdy.one/atom.xml) contains every page on my site that includes a publication date in its metadata; my sections for articles and notes have their own respective feeds. + +> If I want live updates (this is a static site) there’s still more to learn. + +Remember that pretty much all IndieWeb features are optional. You only have to implement what interests you. You can get really far when it comes to bringing a static site to the IndieWeb, so I'd suggest against jumping onto a dynamic site immediately. + +You can also push live updates using WebSub. Your main site can still be static, but you can pint a (first- or third-party) WebSub hub to push content as soon as you update your site. I plan on using this approach soon. + +I like the "static site with ancillary services" model: it keeps the core fast and simple, and makes extra modules easy to add and replace.
