World's Oldest Blogger Has Died

Olive RileyOlive Riley, the world's oldest blogger, has died at the age of 108. She would have been 109 in October. Olive Riley's blog can be found here. Her great-grandson told Reuters that Olive loved blogging. She also referred to her blog as a "blob."
"She enjoyed the notoriety -- it kept her mind fresh," her great-grandson Darren Stone of Brisbane told local newspapers.

"She had people communicating with her from as far away as Russia and America on a continual basis, not just once in a while."

Riley had posted more than 70 entries on her blog -- or "her blob" as she jokingly called it -- since February last year. She set up the site with the help of a friend who entered her posts for her.

In her last and 74th post (http://worldsoldestblogger.blogspot.com) on June 26 she spoke of moving into a nursing home and of her ill health, saying: "I still feel weak and can't shake off that bad cough."
You can read an earlier post we wrote about her here. Thanks for inspiring all of us Olive Riley to continue doing what we love no matter what age we are. (via Tonyocruz.com).
