The Life of Riley

Blogging is a relatively new media and sometimes you wonder how it all comes together and why people do it. Is internet publishing via a blog forever? Will Lime Kettles be around for all of eternity as some sort of time capsule?

Interesting thought... and how should we use the internet to record history? Well the site below is an example of how the internet is not just for computer games and porn, but rather a way to keep history. The Life of Riley is a blog about 107 year old Olive who tells her stories to the blogger who then types them up along with old photos.

A great idea! See, internet publishing can be purposeful and historic!
