Excellent Guide to writing Chinese Characters
Found this great pdf document reference for writing simplified Chinese (Mandarin) characters. Should be useful to anyone looking to learn the language.
I personally find practice the only way to get the stroke order down, and this document has a good collection of common words to use for practice (7 pages in fact). The document can be found here:
