Yield the Wheel is a neat tutorial. Most of us have probably overlooked using the mouse wheel in Lightroom. (Assuming you use a mouse, even occasionally.) When you're working with batches of files, this little trick with the mouse can come in handy.

Easy HDR Technique
Submitted by mitch on Thu, 01/28/2010 - 22:51.
Abduzeedo, a graphic artist oriented site, has published a reader tutorial. Personally, I find the title a bit misleading. This tutorial is not really about HDR at all. It's about an over-the-top look that some people like and associate with HDR.
I use HDR software, but I find the gritty, over-saturated look that passes as HDR these days to be trite now. I tend to react to these images now with a "Yet again!?" feeling.
Still, the author does demonstrate how to create a faux-HDR effect using a combination of Lightroom and Photoshop.
