World's Oldest Blogger?

For a while after reading all the web 2.0 posts and watching my daughter blog on myspace.com I was feeling my age ...but I am not close to being the world's oldest blogger. Meet Mildred (Millie) Garfield - at 80, she deserves the credit. As a fellow Floridian, she enjoyed my recent post on technology and archaeology and is looking forward to a trip next month to the  King Tut exhibit in Fort Lauderdale.

I asked my mother-in-law, 81 who is over from Ireland if she wanted to blog (and become the oldest blogger).

Her response - why do you need to burn logs in the mild Florida winters? No Typepad gift card for her. Nice bottle of sherry...

Millie, enjoy the trip and the blogging experience.

Update: I have been pointed to a gentleman who just beats out Millie as the oldest blogger (that I know off) - age wise. Fair warning - his site is religious. I recognize him to show blogging is ageless, not to endorse his religious views. He blogs 2 limericks a day and has completed over a thousand so far. He plans to blog through the Holy Book in 4 years. That's blogging discipline!

Your mother-in-law is doing ok, getting a nice bottle of sherry!

You may not yet be aware of Donald Crowdis, age 92, who recently started a blog at www.dontoearth.com, making him quite a bit older than anyone else claiming to be the world's oldest blogger.

95 years old blogger

Friends from the Internet, today is my 95th birthday. My name is María Amelia and I was born in Muxía (A Coruña - Spain) on December 23rd in 1911. Today is my birthday and since my grandson is very miser, he gave me a blog. I hope to write here a lot and tell you the experiences of a lady with my age.

Maria, wow!

I'm pretty sure the world's oldest blogger is an 107 Australian woman: http://oldold.blogspot.com

Here is America's oldest blogger, Ray White, who is 94 yrs. old. He has over 1200 entries in the 4 years he's been blogging. And... he's very tech savvy as he embeds videos into his blog (video blogging) that he uploads on AOL Video. Check him out
