The Internet is no longer a space exclusively for the young and even younger.
These days, our entire world revolves around the Internet and nearly every demographic and/or niche has a corner carved out for itself on the Web.
In fact, there are some truly fantastic blogs written and managed by women over 60, for women over 60.
There are blogs centered around everything and anything, from beauty and style to technology and travel.
If you have any interest, there’s a midlife or senior out there blogging about it.

These are all good and solid choices, some I’ve seen before. Kudos to them all. It would be nice to recognize bloggers living with a disability who are championing causes to help others struggling on a similar journey. Just a thought.
Viva Fifty
You are right. That deserves its own category too. 😀
Karen Burns-Booth
Thank you so much for adding me to this inspiring list of women over 60. Ageism is in the rise sadly, and it’s refreshing to see an article that celebrates more mature ladies.
