blown highlights

hi all, i am using a canon eos 450d with the kit lens 18-55mm not the IS version.still learning and taking lots of shots of nothing in particular trying to understand exposure settings.one problem i'm seeing a lot of is blown out highlights particularly if the shot includes sky,i've tried exposure compensation and different apperture and shutter speeds but dont seem to be able to do anything about it.I do seem to remember reading somewhere that this is a problem with the 450d,is it the camera,me or the lens, i know the lens does'nt do great in reviews.I am looking to upgrade the lens to a 18-135mm IS (thats my budget) and seems to be a good all round lens.I also have the 75-300mm kit lens which does'nt seem to give me the same issue. any advice greatly appreciated.
