The Worlds Oldest Blogger
So I've been pretty lazy with blogging. I know, I know - I should practice what I preach.
I've found some new motivation today to blog more regularly and I wanted to take 2 minutes and write about it.
I read an article on Yahoo! Canada News about the worlds oldest blogger and I figured if Granny can blog regularly so can I.
Here is a quote from the article by Raquel Castillo
"Today it's my birthday and my grandson, who is very stingy, gave me a blog."
So reads the first entry by one of the world's oldest Webloggers, Maria Amelia Lopez, who, at the age of 95, has surprised herself by a sudden conversion from Web-illiterate to cybercelebrity.
"At first I thought a blog was just a type of paper notebook," said Lopez, a great grandmother.
Lopez is 95 and is getting huge response to her blog. The president of her country even came by her blog and congratulated her on all the attention and web traffic she is getting.
Here is the entire article if you are interested:

2 Simple reasons that you should be blogging:
1. Great way to get useful content to the visitors of your website.
2. Search Engines love content and blogs are the best way to deliver fresh up to date content to the search engines.
Hope you can take some inspiration from Granny and get blogging.
All the Best
