What's the deal with BlogShares?
So I keep seeing other people's blogs with the BlogShares logo, so I decide to sign up. I fill out the form, hit the button, and pop open my email to confirm my registration. No email.
So I head back to BlogShares and enter my email and password. They tell me there's already another person registered with my email at BlogShares.
Somebody help me out here. Is their confirmation system hopelessly slow, or did they just take my email address and not give me an account?

Maybe you need to add MonkeyX to your blogroll, as I believe its author is the same guy who set up Blogshares.
I recall that I couldn't trade till I had their button setup on my site. I dabbled some with it, too but I find it a bit bizarre.
It doesn't come close to trading like a real market, their site scans (which help determine valuations) are infrequent and irregular and don't count numerous legit blogs.
I leave the button up so others can trade my site, but the thrill of the thing was gone for me within 2 weeks. I prefer old-fashioned stuff like sex drugs and rocknroll.
Good luck getting set up.

Weird. I never registered at Blogshares. However, Mac-a-ro-nies is listed. I also don't have any code for them on my site. Is it possible Blogshares uses a crawler so that blog owners' input is not required?
