A nice viewpoint here, having Clouds sure would have helped or shooting earlier or later. Sunny gave some great suggestions. The number one key here though is always expose for the highlights. Make sure when you shoot you are not blowing the highlights. If the shadows are too dark, then bracket a fee shots and expose for the shadows. You can then blend the exposures.
Your edit looks much better, but still the sky looks blown and like you tried recovering it too much. Remember you can recover information from a shadow area that is too dark, but you cant recover highlights that are blown, that detail is lost forever.
And its great to hear you are open to learning, thats a good trait to have.
