Hey, get brood war too! :P It's fairly inexpensive and adds more depth to the game. Make sure you download the latest patch too.
1.) Try not playing on "money maps," except for kicks. Money maps are maps with excessive minerals. (50,000 minerals per patch). Big game hunters is one example. They're occasionaly fun to screw around with, but you can't really get better playing them.
2.) Do not mass defensive structures. That will cost you the game, especialy against human opponents. That is because your enemy is free to expand and take the map, while you've just spend a chunk of money against an attack that may or may not happen. Try your best to build minimal defense and more actual units. Remember the objective of the game is to destroy your opponent, not make a pretty base. :)
3.) Make many workers. Never stop making them. I keep forgetting 10 minutes in the game. ;)
4.) Expand slowly but surely. Defend your expansions. Send a bunch of workers from your base to the expansions to mine.
5.) In original Starcraft (not brood war), you can easily crush the terrans with mutalisks. 3-4 sunkens is enough to hold off any early attacks.
6.) Make multiple hatcheries. that allows you to make more forces more rapidly. No need to make them all at once.
7.) If you have too much minerals, try your best to spend it all. If you can't, build another hatchery.
8.) Against Protoss, 2-3 sunkens and many zerglings should stop any rush. If it gets really ugly, you can surround your sunken colonies with drones, confusing the zealots. Later on, upgraded ultralisks and zerglings will be incredibly powerful.
9.) Use air units to sneak in your enemy's back door. Go for those workers! You can also use units in transports too.
10.) If you ever play against humans, beware of no.9 and keep an eye on your mining areas.
11.) Send a unit towards your enemy's base to see what they're doing now and then.

There's some good advice there.

With great power comes the great need to blame other people.
