I've been handed 300 images, 300 headlines, and 300 paragraphs by a client. Is there a way for me to place all of this in a CSV file (or other format) and upload the whole shebang into a fresh WordPress install in one operation? I don't have php skills so I need a simple solution if there is one. Thanks.

This plugin should do the trick: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-all-import– Gregg FranklinCommented May 11, 2013 at 19:31

1What a solution should that be? Plugin recommendations are off topic here, and without code it will not be possible.– fuxia ♦Commented May 11, 2013 at 19:37

I'd do something along the lines:
Prepare a spreadsheet with all the data to be exported as CSV
Use a plugin to import: Importing data from spreadsheet into wordpress DB, along with custom taxonomies and their terms
Or custom code: How to Import Categories with Descriptions from a CSV File?
If possible, use a development installation to do the CSV import. So you can fine tune all the posts and do a default WordPress XML export.
Beside fine-tuning, the previous step may be needed to handle the images. As far as I know, CSV import won't bring them as attachments, only as post meta (custom fields).
I can't point to any ready-made code, only to the needed function: media_handle_sideload.
Once this is done, refer to this Q&A for the final step of Export/Import using local images: Import media to online WordPress from local development
