Oldest blogger dies aged 108

14:51 16th July 2008

An Australian woman, believed to be the world's oldest blogger, has died aged 108.

Olive Riley had written 74 entries to her Life of Riley blog from her home in WoyWoy Australia, ranging from accounts of her life, to stories from her childhood in the 1900's.

Riley was taken ill in her nursing home on 10 June and her last blog entry, entitled 'Settling In', was posted on June 26th.

Australian journalist Eric Shackle wrote on a proxy blog that: "Olive Riley passed away peacefully on Saturday July 12.

"She will be mourned by thousands of internet friends and hundreds of descendants and other relatives."

Olive's death has led to the blogging community identifying Donald Crowdis aged 92 from Toronto as the current oldest blogger in the world.
