It depends upon what word your are writing.
If you write the word 'yi', for "cloth/garment" 衣 for instance, you start with the 'dian'. But if you write the word 'ge' for "spear/lance' 戈 or "wo" 我 , the 'heng' is written first.
The general rule is: first the top part, then the lower, or from top to bottom. and from left to right.

I started with Traditional and as my friends and I have gathered, it's easier to go from Traditional to Simplified than it is to go the other way. But it's not impossible. (And yes, I think you should at least have a familiarity of both if you plan on being a serious and long term Chinese student) The best advice I've heard is: Wait until you have 1500 or so characters under your belt before you start learning traditional. If you're not counting characters, then wait until you feel fairly comfortable reading along with TV programs and feel brave enough to pick up a newspaper. Otherwise, it'll just feel really confusing to go back and forth (before you have that solid foundation). 加油!! You can do it!
