Hi Stephan,
Please use our UserVoice page for issues/feedback. The page is: http://blovelspot.uservoice.com

But in any case, your Blovel’s URL can be located on your dashboard. Go to the specific Blovel you want to give your friends to, and look on the “Basic Information” section where it says “URL”. That’s your blovel’s public URL.

In your specific case, your Blovel’s public URL is:
http://stephanmichaelson.blovelspot.com/

Send your friends to that URL to get them reading it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

That was my friend Joel who you were talking to, and me (Jorge) am the creator of the system (no family relation, btw).

Anywho, if you are looking for readership, I don’t think the site will give it to you; the traffic I get is nominal. My main idea with blovelspot was to become a playground for a writer to come up with a story and develop it in a public way, instead of the solo endeavor of writing thousands of words in a vacuum.

Give it a try for yourself, not for the readership, is my advice.

Thanks for dropping by!

hi joel
i’m interested in this blovel thang. i’ve been toying with the idea for awhile. here’s the catch: i’m a published novelist, with low name recognition but nevertheless, i’m out there in print, albeit barely, because my novels haven’t done that well, except critically. i’d be interested in learning to what extent (and how) you or someone has managed to build up readership via a blovel.
thx, serge

After working with Tumblr for a couple of weeks, I found out that using a regular blogging tool is counterproductive for a writer trying to do something like this, so I’ve coded and launched a new tool to write blovels. You can try it out at http://blovelspot.com. I also moved my blovel to this address: http://loveforlife.blovelspot.com

I have one published novel and am working on a prequel. But on the side I also have several humor blogs that take place in “The Netherworld.” I would like to give my Netherworld characters a chance to tell the story of their origins. Plus I have several unfinished novels not related to the rather binding plot line of the book series I am currently working on. Maybe this could be the way to let it all hang out.
