Lately I have only been learning to read them. When I knew about 1000 kanji, some of my friends in university in Japan told me it seemed I could write more kanji than them.

1. Learn hiragana first—it is used most often
2. Learn katakana then
3. Learn kanji

But focus more on reading them than writing them. You'll learn to write some just by doing so, and reading is far more important than writing, IMHO.

But I will learn to write all the joyo kanji at some point after I've learned to read them all.
