as for websites, I personally don't ever go to luminous landscapes. I actually don't frequent many other than here and 500px - but lately I have been doing a ton (read: shit load ) of research for my crazy trip in 10 days, so not a lot of time.
In any case, I have the new Kuyper actions. He updated them to work with CS5 and newer. If you don't have the updated ones, email him. The videos that explain how to use them is FOUND HERE. Really is the best video to explain these.
Me personally, HDR is a waste of time - and hopefully that trend is dying. Blending is so much better, but takes more time to master. I use a combo of Nik software, kuyper actions and CS6. I have what you would call a erratic workflow. No two images are the same, so why work them like they are?
Trail and error is the best way. Remember, most everyones RAW files look the same! TWO most important factors are lighting and compositions. You can't fix those in post process.
I am NO pro by any stretch, so take my opinions with a shot of makers mark. Here is a shot from last spring. It is a 3 or 4 shot blend, focus blending if you will.
