Touted as the world’s oldest blogger, Olive Riley of Australia has died in a nursing home at the age of 108 years old. After a film was done on her ventures in blogging, Olive had maintained a large following on her site. According to a news article it stated:
In her last post, she wrote fondly about the nursing home she’d just moved into:
I can’t believe I’ve been here in this nursing home for more than a week. How the days have flown, even though I’ve been in bed most of the time. I still feel weak, and can’t shake off that bad cough.
I’ve never been treated so well in all my life. The nurses can’t do enough for me. Ask them for anything, and they are only too happy to provide it.
This story should be an inspiration for older seniors who are reluctant to learn the computer, get on the Internet and send email. When a person over 100 years old can blog, anyone else should be able to do it as well.
Comments welcome.

Greetings from Sydney, Australia.
Until this year, there was an even older blogger in Florida. You can read about her in the South Korean citizen reporters’ online journal OhmyNewsInternational: http://tinyurl.com/5brv3d
