  1. WordPress currently supports only few post formats, you can have a look at all Supported Post Format on codex. If you are looking for format which in not mentioned there, you will have to use the categories or tags conditions to customize the look for that posts.

  2. Either use the current post formats, and make custom template for them. Or, make custom post types, but, switching post types seems to be a huge pain in the ass.
