One thing I'm missing (or misunderstanding) about IPFS is updates.

In a centralized system, like HTTP, a site has a single address: something.example.com. Any new entry (e.g. blog post) I create gets its own entry address, but is also referenced from the main site address.

As far as I understand, IPFS contains static copies of documents, so any document that would be the "front" page would have to be copied before updating with new entries, and would receive a new address.

How to let readers know that a new entry is available then? Would there need to be a centralized place referencing all existing entries?
