Great Starcraft site. Definately worth checking out. It has tons of SCII videos, a great community with many skilled players, and the allmighy liquipedia where you can read about all of the established build orders.
I think you should do like this.
Never forget the two things that was mentioned earlier in the thread. Keep scouting your enemy. If you don't know what he is doing, you're dead. And never stop making workers, otherwise you will have a bad economy and get steamrolled.
When you have grasped those two things, you should read up on a standard terran build order that works in every matchup. Practice that build order until you can do it with your eyes closed.
When you know your build order perfectly (this may take anything from hours to months depending on your skills.) (It took me months to be able to finally nail SC1 builds when I was a SC1 noob. ) Then you should start reading the teamliquid SCII strategy forum and start experimenting with different tactics if you feel like it.
Micromanagement and macromanagement are equally important, but macro is definaltely what decides games at a lower level so I wouldn't try to micro very much if I were you. Put your energy into getting a better economy that your opponent and getting more units than him instead.
Don't forget to watch replays that you lose and try to reflect on what you could have done to win the game.
Never wait for anything to happen. Do things constantly. Send out an early worker to scout your enemy. If you really want good practice, you should try to keep your worker alive while building up your base without messing up your build order. It's hard but it will give you better multi-tasking long term.
When looking up build orders, don't listen to descriptions like make X units and you will pwn his Y units.
This is how you describe a build order!

The fact that you are constantly building workers is taken for granted in build order descriptions.
There you go. I hope it helped.
I LOVE ICELAND!
