Lately on Chicagosphere: Conquering the World, Gay Pride, & Healthy Hotties

I've covered some interesting items in the past few weeks on Chicagosphere, my blog about Windy City blogs on the Tribune's ChicagoNow online network. The network is still in beta, but the community is thriving and I'd love you to come be a part of it.

Here's a look at the bloggers and issues I've featured on Chicagosphere in the past two weeks. If you have a favorite site you think more people should know about it, pitch me at: mikedoyleblogger (at) gmail (dot) com.

How to Be a Healthy "Hottie" with ChronicBabe.com Chronic pain suffer Jenni Prokopy shows young women how to deal with ongoing health issues and still let the "Babe" within shine.

Scotty's Got an Awesome Blog Scotty Iseri wanted, got, lost, and is again on the hunt for an office job. His video blog chronicling all that is one of the funniest you'll ever see.

Bloggers Respond to Chicago Media Future Conference I review the reactions of my media peers to June 2009's Chicago Media Future Conference, which I also attended. For a conference with "Chicago" and "future" in the title, I found myself straining to hear much mention of either one.
