So the layout I have in mind would be along the lines of this:
http://www.thefamouspeople.com/political-leaders.php

You see a picture of a person and click on it and it then it directs you to a page detailing the event that got them on the website along with some other basic stuff.

Also I started looking at some websites that I go to and I realized that maybe they are just blogs?????? Are these essentially blogs:

http://www.fastcompany.com/
http://www.slate.com/
http://gawker.com/index.php

the term that you'll find what you're looking for under is CMS (Content Management System)

things like Wordpress started out more as a blog-oriented package but have evolved into offering much more
