I've been studying Japanese for about a month now, mostly using JPod101. When I first started studying the Kana, as much as I like the Kana charts on here for the pronunciation buttons and stuff, it doesn't work well for learning to draw the symbols.
A big part of that was simply because the default font for Japanese on my computer is really complex looking. Anyway, I haven't checked out most of the rest of this site, but I found some nice Kana Practice sheets here:

I found it really handy, as it shows the stroke order, and then lets you trace it a few times, and then sets you on your own to try and draw them yourself.
There's also a number of basic Kanji there.
