World's Oldest Blogger Dies

Monday July 14, 2008

It's a sad day across the blogosphere as bloggers around the world mourn the death of the world's oldest blogger, Olive Riley. At 108-years old, Olive was a symbol of the inclusive-nature of the blogosphere where anyone can join the conversation. Her free Blogger-hosted blog is called The Life of Riley. Olive Riley's blog is still available online, although so many people around the world have been trying to visit since news of her death broke today, that it appears many visitors aren't able to access it.

If you've ever wondered whether or not you can or should start a blog, let Olive Riley be an inspiration to you. You can read more about Olive at World's Oldest Blogger.
