Check Skritter vocab lists, there you have a ton of them, both words and character lists. Some based on books, others on news or movie subtitles. Even the HSK lists can act as a sort of frequency lists.

As Mandarinboy suggests, the HSK lists are a good place to start. These are internally ordered largely by us by frequency, and are the best official lists for what you're looking for.

There are also a handful of published ones here:

And finally, if you want to use that list you found, it couldn't be easier. Simply copy and paste the list into our build in list editor, breaking it down into multiple sections perhaps. Our system will recognize the characters and automatically associate them with our dictionary, which has all the info you need to get studying. Check our FAQ on how to create lists, or let us know if you have any questions.
