@Cowsgonemadd3
You asked for a review, and H&D took some time to really
read your content, and continue to come back to try and explain to you HOW to improve it. Nobody is insulting where you live, there are plenty of amazing writers from SC, however, your writing style is poor. Age has nothing to do with it, it's about how good of a writer you are. And you aren't (that good of a writer, that is.)
About The Title
You say you want your content protected, and you're attempting to do so by using your user-name as your url. However, cowsgonemadd3 is a pretty bad url, because of all of the extra letters/numbers. If you have your site as "cows gone mad,"
you can still post under your username. Nobody's stopping you. Also, you're over 18. There's absolutely no reason why you can't put your content under your real name and license your s***. You can check out this site for more information on that:

About The Content
Your writing style is poor, bad, and otherwise non-existent. You want examples, so here they are.

I was just told this. It was pretty funny so I thought I would share it.
It is a true story and a amazing one at that!

This is what primary schoolers do. They put each individual thought into a sentence. They ignore the idea of fluidity. It makes things feel choppy and annoying. Do writers sometimes use this style effectively? Yes they do. They use it to state a point.
Do you see how irritating that is? Most humans can generally string two or three ideas into a concept without the need for breaking them up into chunks. The way the above (your sentences) should be written would be something like this:
I was just told this amazing and true story and I thought I would share it. It's pretty funny, actually.
The way you write almost sounds like you're incredibly angry or incredibly nervous and can't express coherent thoughts. Yeah?
About The Videos
If your blog is about the videos...then make it a
video blog. There is no reason you should bother to write non-related or random content. It clutters and takes away from your blog. There are no videos on the front page at all! Focus on your videos as your main content. Don't write uninteresting and pointless posts, but interesting and attention grabbing
leads into your videos.
Design
Get a new one. Here's why:
Overall, it looks like something a layout generator would create. If you're actually using Wordpress, then there's no reason why you should stick to layouts like this when there are plenty of options for better put-together code. For inspiration or a starting off point, I recommend Smashing Magazine.
