World's oldest blogger signs off singing happy songs

An Australian woman - reputed to be the world's oldest internet blogger - has died at the age of 108, officials say.

Olive Riley had posted more than 70 entries about her life since she began her blog in February 2007.

She shared her thoughts on modern life and experiences of living through the entire 20th Century, including two world wars and the Great Depression.



In her final entry on 26 June, she described singing a happy song at her care home with nurses and a visitor.

Olive Riley died in the nursing home in New South Wales on Saturday.

Olive Riley's great-grandson said blogging had brought her into contact with people from around the world and had kept her mind fresh.
