Let's see how to properly fill out Form TX to update an existing registration.
Spaces 1, 2, 3 & 4: are the same as when you first registered the site.
That was easy. On to side two:
Space 5: Previous registration: Yes. Check box C — "this is a changed version ..." Enter the registration number you already have and the year you registered it.
If you're registering a change before you've received your previous registration form (which can take several months, remember), write "registration pending" in the Previous Registration space.
Space 6A: Derivative work or Compilation: If nothing from the previous registration has changed — as opposed to things being added — then this space can be left blank. Otherwise, enter "Some text previously registered" — something that briefly takes note of what has changed and how it has changed.
Space 6B: Material added to this work: as stated. "Text and photos added".
Spaces 7, 8, and 9 are filled out as for the original registration.
Submit everything — application, fee, deposit material — as for the original registration. Everything is the same from this point as for the original registration. Again, keep copies of the registration form and deposit material for yourself.
