I've been writing kana and all that on my own for ages, but I thought it might be nice to learn how to write more accurately or nicely. I remember seeing a Japanese site that had hiragana charts, and I think it might have been posted on these forums, but I can't find it...
So, anyone know a good site for learning to write hiragana properly?

I don't want just regular font, though. I can't think of the right word for it. Hand writing, calligraphy, something along those lines.

手書き.. writing by hand.
That's what this book is about. At the beginning he talks about character shape and suggests that everybody should find a script they like and make it their own. But the fundamentals are all the same, the lines have a proper way to start, curve, end, and corner, and that's what he teaches in here.
If you want to search the Japanese yahoo or google use these words
手書き handwriting
書道 calligraphy
ボールペン ball pen
筆ペン brush pen
文字(もじ) character
字形 character form
and eventually you should be able to find something you want. Handwriting is really popular in Japan so you'll probably have a lot more luck on the Japanese internet.
