The thing about the Zerg in Starcraft 2, is that they're a very reactionary race.

They were not my favorite race in SC1 either, so there's not a lot for me to remember.
Until you get to Tier 2, you really don't have much opportunity to dictate the terms of play. While Scouting is so important for all races, it's soooo important for Zerg to scout constantly. From the start you'd want to know if your opponent is going to 2/3 gate, or proxy reaper/bunker, or early Hellion/Banshee... There are so many cheeses that others players can do to you, you'll need to know before deciding whether to fast expand or go 14 pool. Especially going into the mid-game, if you need to sacrifice overlords to scout, then do it because you have to know what they're doing.
As Ghavrel mentions, you want to constantly spread the creep, and spawn larvae on your hatcheries. Try to get used to those mechanics, you never want your queens sitting idle. Zerg require a lot of Macro, you want to always expand and saturated your mineral lines when you have the opportunity. When you're harassing, expand. When you're attacking, expand. If your opponent has 2 bases, you should have 3 or 4 expansions.

That is where the Overlord drops come in handy

I don't play as Zerg either, but I've seen it done effectively. Check out this video

I'm only familiar with Zerg and what annoys me as Zerg, SO.

Tried Zerg once or twice in coop games last week. Any advice for a Zerg noob?

Queen per hatchery. Constant spawn larvae. Expand creep constantly.

Thanks for both replies. The Queens + larvae help tremendously. I'll work on the rest.

I really only play the campaigns in single player mode, so my experience might be a little different

The Raven is excellent, but in my opinion it's really expensive.

Yeah, the ability to do all that while burrowed is really great.

You can? Crap. In that case, I need to start using it. *NM*

Yes... press the hotkey for burrow and then the key for parasite (very quickly, but in that order)
