The World's Oldest Blogger

I also posted this article in my other blog, "The Concept". And I thought about sharing it here for my readers and visitors. Olive Riley, Australian woman was renowned as the world's oldest blogger, died at the age of 108, with her last posting talking about her ailing health but also how she still sings a happy song every day. She began blogging in February last year and sharing stories from her life during the two world wars, raising three children on her own, and working as a station cook. The mentally alert Riley won an international audience with her blog, The Life of Riley (www.allaboutolive.com.au) and videos posted on YouTube with her talking and singing. She was said to be the world's oldest blogger as she was 12 years older than the previous titleholder, Spain's Maria Amelia. She was born in 1899 and would have turned 109 in October. Riley had posted more than 70 entries on her blog since February last year. 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. Wow, she was really into blogging. I was amazed by this old woman.
