What's next for KRO?

"Fun stuff! I am working on my own line of sunglasses and statement glasses, so that is pretty insane! Also, over the summer I was approached and filmed a docudrama surrounding my life as well as other social media personalities within Chicago Blogger Network. That seems to be moving along...but that's all I can say about that for now!"

"Now that we have our 400-plus bloggers as part of the network, it is time to get down and dirty! I have taken my time to ensure a strong base here at CBN, so expect exciting partnerships and many more networking opportunities for our bloggers. What is most important is that I continue to collaborate creatively with Chicago's most creative minds, inspire my staff and help raise the visibility of Chicago's bloggers and artists."

What is one solid piece of advice for bloggers who want to get their name out there.

"Be yourself. Just write about what interests you and don't work too hard at creating your 'voice.' You already have a voice — just be consistent and be curious. That's it."
