[Microsoft](h introduced live tile for websites for IE in Windows 8, which was improved even further in 8.1 and now it continues in Microsoft Edge for Windows which makes it a great feature to have, because all you have to do is pin the site to Start.

The live tile does not anything special, all it needs is a RSS feed and refresh timing for content polling.

This means a static website can have a live tile. So you can have this feature in a Jekyll based website.

All you have to do is add meta this to the head of your website.

<pre class="wp-block-code">```
<meta name="application-name" content="{{site.title}}"/>  
    <meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#00acff"/>
    {% if site.logo %}
    <meta name="msapplication-square70x70logo" content="{{site.logo}}"/>
    <meta name="msapplication-square150x150logo" content="{{site.logo}}"/>
    <meta name="msapplication-wide310x150logo" content="{{site.logo}}"/>
    <meta name="msapplication-square310x310logo" content="{{site.logo}}"/>
    {% endif %}
    <meta name="msapplication-notification" content="frequency=30;polling-uri=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed={{site.url}}/atom.xml&id=1;polling-uri2=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed={{site.url}}/atom.xml&id=2;polling-uri3=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed={{site.url}}/atom.xml&id=3;polling-uri4=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed={{site.url}}/atom.xml&id=4;polling-uri5=http://notifications.buildmypinnedsite.com/?feed={{site.url}}/atom.xml&id=5; cycle=1"/>

You need to add `logo:` string to your `_config.yml` and add the path of your logo.

You can change edit this meta for adding different logo support for each tile size, you can change the color to by editing `TileColor` content meta.

If you wish to support me keep the Credit comment.

You can pin my website to Start, it has live tile support.

Thank you for reading.
