when you take your 2nd base send half your workers from your main and DON'T rally workers to the expansion.
with constant worker production they will both be saturated at the same time and you only lose mining time from the first transfer instead of constantly.
Macro is simply build workers and spend your money, as long as you keep an eye on your resources then macro should be the easiest part of the game. micro on the other hand ... :P

MetaStatic you got to be carefull when assuming this because this is not necesarily true.. because if you grab probes from your main and send them to your natural.. you loose those resources all at once instead of over time. For instance you transfer 10 probes it takes 15 seconds to rally them thats 15 minerals per probe so you have lost 150 minerals all at once. if you rally your nexus to your natural you loose 15 minerals per probe rallyed and this over time.. so your totall amount of lost minerals is still 150 except it is spread out over time. now if you loose those 150 minerals all at once then you have one less cannon or 1 less stalker if your opponent pushes your base early. yes this is made up in the late game, but these 150 minerals could be the difference between holding a push or loosing to a push in that early game. however if you are oversaturated on your main base then it is wiser to transfer probes so they are minning to full potential.
