World's Oldest Blogger Logs Off for Good
A 108-year-old (yes, you read that correctly) Australian woman, reportedly the world's oldest blogger, has passed away in Woy Woy (which is about 50 miles north of Sydney).
Olive Riley began blogging in February of 2007. Her blog, The Life of Riley, drew an international audience, but a temporary blog, The World's Oldest Blogger, was created earlier this year as Riley's health began to fail.
Her last post was on 6/26, a week after she moved into a nursing home. It said, in part:
Hello, dear friends everywhere.Besides her blog, Riley became a hit with the songs she sang, posted to YouTube.
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.
Riley passed away Saturday, at her nursing home.

Very good writeup! You seem like a "with-it" person, so I can you tell me if there are any GOOD blogs for independent moviemakers who have marketed their own movies? Not a bunch of wannabe ruggies.
We've made five feature films and two documentaries here for local cable access. Our movies are good enough to be sold. And the cable access folks here allow people to market their productions.
We do the whole thing, from script to shooting to editing in our home studio. So we know HOW TO make movies.
We haven't figured out how to SELL THEM for a PROFIT.
Thanks. I'll be looking for you reply here.
It's interesting to know that someone can really do Blogging at the age of 107 and pass on at the age of 108.
I seized this opportunity to join others to console the family of Olive Riley for a remarkable life and the imprint she left behind.
May her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.
Together we shall win!
