Maria Lopez of Spain was described as the world's oldest blogger. She died on May 20, 2009 in her hometown of Muxia at the age of 97.
The great-grandmother started a blog on her 95th birthday in 2006 after her grandson created the site for her as a present. Her blog attracted a huge following and had over 1.7 million hits. She shared her thoughts about her life over a vast range of topics, including growing up in Spain under the dictatorship of General Fransisco Franco and the war in Iraq.
She urged elderly people to access the internet as she felt it had a profound influence on her life due to her ability to communicate with people all around the world.
