This afternoon a thread was posted about how to improve.. Its a question that comes up regularly so I thought I would type up a small thing that helped me get from low silver to upper plat / diamond (by the end of beta phase 2) .. Its pretty lengthy, so I'll put it in reply.. but if you have any tips, lets hear it! Anything and everything will help ;)

I usually go
9overlord
12drone-scout
14pool + gas
15overlord
queen
Zergling Speed @ 100gas
18ling (scout\xelnaga tower)
from there, it's kind of feel based on opponent and map. I would mix zerglings + drones evenly til about 25. From there you have to scout and build accordingly. Roaches are good unless you see flying units or marauders. They do ok vs Stalkers in mass, although Stalkers can micro you. You want to get a 2nd base up as soon as economically viable but make sure it's a safe time (right after a thwarted enemy attack, or if hes turtling you can build as early as 14-16 supply). Try to build overlords so that you keep ~10 open supply. You can mix in a few spine crawlers at either base if you're expecting an attack soon.
I generally aim to have around 23-24 drones at my main base.
