If I have a blog, would the initial registration only include the entries that I have at the time?

If the initial registration only includes the entries that I have at the time, and I write new blog posts regularly, wouldn't too much of my content be unregistered? Unlike the layout of my site, my blog posts are actual creative content that I wrote, and I would want them to be registered. But I wouldn't want to pay $35 dollars every time I post something either. What would I do?

He said in the video that if you update a blog that those new blog posts won't be included in the registration, but the content itself would still be copyrighted because you created it. I wouldn't re-register unless you are having problems with copyright infringement, because like he said the registration is basically to help your case if you had to go to court.
