The oldest active blogger in the world, 97 year old Spanish María Amelia López, born in 1911 passed away on May 20, 2009.
Her blog was started when her grandson set up a blog for his 95-year old granny as a birthday present. Her site was getting over 1,5 million visitors – a dream for millions of bloggers worldwide.

Not only her ancient origins, but her raspy sense of humour as she shared her insights of the process of getting old made her an Internet celebrity. Recalling her tales of opposing the Franco regime and giving her take on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, this granny became a celebrity such that the Spanish Prime Minister José Zapatero had to get photographed with her.
Some people really are late bloomers. The Internet has lost another great “personality”.
Currently, the oldest blogger in the world is 111 year old Brazilian-born Bernardo la Pallo. His blog has very sane and valuable advice on how lead a good life, longer Age Less, Live More!
The Youngest Blogger in the World
There is going to be a fierce debate about this title.
There is even a blog dedicated to discovering the youngest blogger in the world.
This blog suggest that Lewis Chew from Malaysia, is the youngest blogger at the age of 2. No, not years but months!

When I'm on the Internet, I forget about my illness. The distraction is good for you - being able to communicate with people. It wakes up the brain, and gives you great strength. - Maria Amelia Lopez

Interesting. it's nice to see older people blog. and their blogs are most interesting to read.
That is a pity. Older people have more real things to say. They must have had fun together, she and her grandson. Blogging can bring people closer.
Bless her!
