What's helped me lately are the dApollo youtube vids from Bronze onwards.

Don't have youtube at work so can't post the links but you can find them here from:

even if you just watch the first 2 episodes, you'll be set. Can't imagine the number of times where I can almost hear his voice telling me to larva inject!

The videos are really good, but it's important not to be confused/distracted by his mechanics (zipping everywhere on the minimap etc.) and just listen to him describe what he is doing. Pay special attention to the build orders and his reasoning for doing certain things in what situation etc.

In lower leagues playing safe is very important. If your macro is good and you know what he is doing it becomes very easy (almost trivially easy at times) to defend and win. As mentioned, at that league most people won't know much beyond a specific 1 or 2 base all-in so if you can beat that it doesn't really matter what you do so long as you have enough workers / production.
