So, a bit about my stuff...
I shoot with a D70 (notorious for its flat tone curve and conservative metering), and my raw converter doesn't hold camera settings so most things need a minor adjustment. My post work usually involves a small saturation boost, and small contrast boost, then convert the file and open it in photoshop. Depending on the shot I do a little curves work to get a bit more detail and more dynamic range. On rare occasions I will do a little dodge work. Sharpen using 2 methods, and its pretty much done.
Don't be intimidated by photoshop. Theres tons of tutorials out there. Just play around a lot, see what everything does.
