I spent the last days building a custom theme for my blog.
You can find the source on GitHub.
It is based on the Hyde Theme and the modifications Manton made for micro.blog.

I created three categories, Blog, Microblog, Photo. Micro.blog can tag every photo automatically, but unfortunately you can’t set a default category.

Other categories render only posts that are tagged with the category.
