Google the words "world's oldest blogger," and you'll get no shortage of results. The bulk of the stories focus on folks in their mid-to-late 90s--mostly 95 and 96. Impressive, to be sure, but they've got nothing on Australian great-grandmother, Olive Riley. One would be hard-pressed to find someone who might be able to snatch the title away from Riley, who, in three days, will be turning 108.
Over at Riley's blog, The Life of Riley, they've already started the celebration--the home that Riley lives at insists that they hold birthday celebrations on Weekdays. But heck, she's already live 3,9417 days, so what's another three, right?
Born in 1899 in Broken Hill Australia (outside of Sydney), Riley started her blog--what she calls a "blob"--in February of this year. The entries consist largely of Riley's transcriptions to her friend Mike, consisting of her day to day events and stories for her 108 years of life.
Yep, sounds like a blog to us.
