Geoff:

T'wasn't blood... Canon tells us otherwise.

'"Let me go!" Harry snarled, tugging.

With a loud ripping noise, his bag split in two. His books, wand, 
parchment and quill spilled onto the floor and his ink bottle 
smashed over the lot.'
(COS "The Very Secret Diary" p.177 UK edition)

'It wasn't until they had reached Professor Flitwick's class that 
Harry noticed something rather odd about Riddle's diary. All his 
other books were drenched in scarlet ink. The diary, however, 
was as clean as it had been before the ink bottle had smashed 
all over it.'
(ibid. p179)

'Harry sat on his four-poster bed and flicked through the blank 
pages, not one of which had a trace of scarlet ink on it. Then he 
pulled a new bottle out of his bedside cabinet, dipped his quill 
into it and dropped a blot onto the first page of the diary. The 
ink shone brightly on the paper for a second and then, as though 
it was being sucked into the page, vanished.'
(ibid. p.179)

'Then, in a rush of wings, Fawkes soared back overhead and 
something fell into Harry's lap - the diary. For a split second, 
both Harry and Riddle, wand still raised, stared at it. Then, 
without thinking, without considering, as though he had meant 
to do it all along, Harry seized the Basilisk fang on the floor next 
to him and plunged it straight into the heart of the book.

There was a long, dreadful, piercing scream. Ink spurted out of 
the diary in torrents, streaming over Harry's hands, flooding the 
floor.'
(COS "The Heir of Slytherin" p.237 UK edition)

So, it was red ink, not blood.....
