Move over 93 year old Donald Crowdis from Canada, you’ve been one upped on being the oldest blogger from Australia by Ms. Olive Riley, age 108. Yes, 108 (well worth repeating and emphasizing) and blogging at The Life of Riley. No, she doesn’t seem to be related to fellow Aussie blogger Duncan Riley who writes for TechCrunch.

Under puzzling dispute with some people is the issue of blogger legitimacy when you don’t type the words yourself. Ms. Riley’s typist is named Mike who also participates in the conversations. Are you a blogger if you don’t type the words yourself? Absolutely yes, as long as they are your words, how they get to into the blog editor and ultimately published is unimportant. If speech software worked better, I’d be using that instead of typing because I can talk a lot faster than I can type.

Donald Crowdis’ most recent blog post was March 8, 2007. Olive’s most recent blog update was last Friday, she’s using Wordpress and accepts comments (rel=nofollow). The blog is written in an interview format and includes YouTube video.

Although she doesn’t know who Jay Leno is (host of Tonight Show who took over for the legendary Johnny Carson), Olive does like oysters and drinks Guinness. Take down those shooters, Olive!
