To make a decent/playable map follow these easy steps:
1. Read this - http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=10191
2. Look at some pro maps - http://www.wgtour.com/map.php?datab=broodwar and study how the tips given in the first link are applied, like the chokes, minerals, expansions, spacing, decorations, doodads, etc.
3. Try making your own.

[sub]I would try to make it so theres only one entrance, and that entrance has a nat that can defend it. [ For Zerg's sake ][/sub]

The picture has some stuff that could improve your map. You don't have to follow them to make a good map, but some things are required for one, such as adequate building space, a base that is defendable, and a natural that isn't too difficult to take. Most of the stuff can probably be found in the guide linked by Yenku. Once you get those main things that make a playable map, you can experiment and make different, unique, and fun maps to play.

I feel that this map is just a flat plane with random holes and walls; don't get me wrong it looks cool, and it might play ok. But I feel that maps should flow with the tileset, act as an actual geographically possible area. This usually allows for a bit more strategy, opening up ridges and islands, etc.
