To provide an example of a blog, I will discuss my favorite President Calvin Coolidge.
Calvin Coolidge was the 30th President of the United States. Although he was born in Vermont, he lived in Massachusetts for most of his life. He served as the mayor of Northampton, Massachusetts. He was also a state legislator and later became Governor of Massachusetts. Coolidge's claim to fame was his actions during the famous Boston Police strike of 1919. His handling of the crisis elevated him to national prominence and later became the Vice-Presidential candidate with Warren G. Harding in the 1920 Presidential Election.
Coolidge later became President when Harding died of a heart-attack in 1923. Coolidge would serve out the remainder of his term and run again in 1924 where he won in a landslide.
Here is a picture of Calvin Coolidge I inserted using the picture permalink option.
During his administration, he was known for his dry New England sense of humor and his zeal to keep government as small as possible. The "Roaring 20's" became the "Roaring 20's" under Coolidge due to government cuts, low taxes, and low inflationary rates.
Coolidge's most famous quote was "The business of America is business." Coolidge's get government out of the way approach helped the economy grow larger than any other point in history. In 1928, he declined to run for a second term and eventually died in the early 1930s. Coolidge is often remembered as the father of the modern conservative movement with his small government beliefs.
