This is something I am interested in as well. There’s a running thread about this.

WordPress has a file upload capability built it. I use this all the time.
I don’t use thumbnails because my PHP install doesn’t have the required graphics module, but this shouldn’t be difficult to set up.
Note that after the file upload, WordPress gives you some HTML code you can use to put the image into your post. This text is easy to change. I have changed it in my set-up so I can use a special photo formatting CSS class.
To do this, open /wp-admin/upload.php and change lines 206 and 208. In your case, you would want something like this:
<img src="path/tn_imag.jpg" class="image_formatting" alt="This is an image" />
image_formatting is a CSS class to format the image in your post.
Now, for lines 206 and 208 you would need to reformat the tag symbols and quote markes with HTML entities, and you would have to do something different for the path. I can’t tell you exactly, since I don’t know where or how thumbs are stored. But if you know a little PHP, this should be enough to get you started.
Honestly, no plug-in needed, as it is pretty simple.

Here’s a thread describing how I handle photos.
As for borders and drop shadows, just add a border property to the CSS selector and experiment.

When I first discovered WordPress, I attempted to hack it into a general purpose CMS, since I am not into blogging – either reading them or writing them. I decided to use something else for the CMS, but I still use WordPress on two sites, neither one of which is a blog, in the generally-accepted sense of the word.
On my business site, I use WordPress as a sort of “What’s new” running ticker of activities and news.
On my personal site, I simply use WordPress as an easy way to add content to a site that has been evolving constantly since 1995. Perhaps this site will evolve into a blog, owing to the WordPress influence.

So it is. Funny, I thought I was using

for that.
I’ll change it later tonight and see how it works.

No, I can see it with Mozilla.
Go to the second link, note that the last line of the left navbar is moved to the right (hover over it to see it).

No, I use Mozilla. But I test with IE6.

My own company making tactical accessories for shotguns: Mesa Tactical
I’m even using WordPress on my company site.

One man’s static pages solution here.
Also, just enter the word ‘static’ in the search at upper right, and you will be directed to some documentation.

Poons, that is the WordPress default layout (on your site).
To use Trident, you have download the zip file, rename the index.txt file to be index.php, and rename the CSS file (whatever it is) to wp-layout.css.
Then you edit from there.

What are you doing up?
If I’m a good boy I’ll be hitting the range on Sunday. Have two new guns to try out, plus need to test our shotgun products.

I made some suggestions that might work in this thread.
I use the described method on my own site.

I solved all Javascript issues several years ago by disabling Javascript in my browsers.
I heartily endorse this procedure.

I discuss this in some detail in this thread.

Only problem I see is that ghastly font letter spacing that comes with the default.
You can change that by editing your CSS, but the quickest way to fix it is by downloading a new style from the Alex King site.
