MADRID: A Spanish great-grandmother who billed herself as the "world's oldest blogger" and who gained a global following on the Internet, died on Thursday, 22nd May, 2009 at the age 97, local officials and reports said.
Maria Amelia Lopez, who was introduced to the world of blogging by one of her grandchildren, used a mix of humor and nostalgia to recall life during the long dictatorship of Francisco Franco and give her take on modern life.
"Today it's my birthday and my grandson, who is very stingy, gave me a blog," she wrote on her first post on amis95.blogspot.com on Dec 23, 2006.
Her blog quickly soared in popularity after the media reported on it, having seen more than 1.5 million hits.- AFP
