My opponent just did this on the ladder, and I'm surprised I haven't noticed it before, but...

TvX - When you push out early game, rally (some of) your production facilities to your mineral line to mitigate counter-drop damage while your army is on the map. That is, unless you are rallying them to your army units as reinforcements.

ZvP - if you don't see any agression in the first 8 to 10 minutes of the game and for some reason you were unable to get in with an overlord, put 1 spore in each mineral line and make second queens from each hatch

Wrong. In a typical macro game, I probably produce 10+ observers. I hide a few in dead spots (above random raised terrain) as well in likely flight paths, as well as keeping 2+ with my army at all times.

PvX - When shift blinking on to cliffs, you can leave stalkers behind if they are reaching the blink start point faster then they can leave the end point. Placing the blink start point as close to the cliff as possible and the blink end point reasonably far away from the cliff can help.

I challenge you to look up some protoss vs terran replays: both pro level and not pro level. You will not see that most people build that many. I commend you for producing that many observers, but firmly believe that this is not a common trait that most protoss players have. I'm also surprised that you can spend 750+ gas on observers, and still have enough for a typical zealot-high templar-archon-colossus lategame composition.

Not to mention having all that supply tied up in observers. I generally make do with 2-3 >_>.

Not to mention having all that Robotics production tied up making Observers instead of something that can actually kill something.

(Z) Creep Tumors that are near each other will spread creep faster, allowing even faster creep spread.

(This works because creep tumors will "fill in" non-creep space, and so if 2 tumors are filling in the same area, it will fill up faster. Great for building a creep road to your opponent.)

(Z) Use one of your first overlords to wait in a dead space area near the enemies base. This will allow you to remember to sacrifice an overlord to scout, or perhaps wait until it is evolved to an overseer to provide constant scouting with changelings.

(ZvT ZvP) When a SCV/Probe scout comes to your base, use one worker to attack it. This will help put micro pressure on your opponent, as well as let you keep an eye on what he is doing(bunker/cannon rush). Keep in mind that the protoss may have already dropped a pylon, try to deduce if he is trying to keep your worker away from a certain area of your base.

If you don't have the APM to micro your worker scout without letting your macro slip, set it on a closed patrol loop and it will circle perpetually, until its death or you move it out. To do this, you can queue about 6 patrol points, make the last point on top of the first.

PvZ - If you are making Archons behind the standard (Zealot slot) wall-in against Zerg, morph the Archons outside the wall, as they won't fit. High Templar and Dark Templar can fit through the wall, so move them outside before morphing into Archons.

ZvX If you drop changelings on top of enemy units, they automatically attack the changelings (useful against siege tanks and banelings)
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but for such harass as with Banshees, you can send an SCV to a nearby location such as the backdoor fourth on Tal'darim to serve as a forward repair station. On bigger maps, you can be back in action without having to retreat to your base.

Not sure if its been posted or not, but you can actually block a gas geyser beeing built by putting an scv/probe/drone right next to it stopping thoes pesky zerg kill/rebuild geyser techniques
