New, better guide to IRC is now being done. http://www.salokoski.fi:1337/Tutorials/IRC/
I decided to put it on my own site instead of here, since now I can make it look much better.

I found wiki out confusing and made this.
I make this IRC-tutorial for everyone who wants to come and chat with us.

1. Go at Liberas webchat

2. Fill fields:
Nickname: Name you wan't IRC people use at you.
Channels: Channels you want to join. #powder is the usual chatting channel.
Don't check "Auth to services" box, yet.
Type Re-captcha code in field. Any special characters or numbers shouldn't be written. No matter with capital letters.

3. Gongratulations, you have gotten in IRC.

4. Type "/msg NickServ register " in the text field at bottom.

5. Go check your email and do what registeration email says.

When you next time login, check "auth to services" box and type your registered nickname and it's password.

After this you can just continue using webchat and look like a noob, or you can do what next steps tell you.

7. Download IceChat9 and install it. You should do that by yourself.

8. When you have installed it, open IceChat9. Then rightclick "Freeenode" text at the left border and choose edit server.

9. Fill fields (If I don't say anything about field, don't change it.):
Main Settings:
Nick Name: Type your registered nickname there.
Ident: type your nick there, too. It's alternative field.
Full name: You don't have to type your name there, but you can do it if you want
Quit message: Message that others see when you leave.
Extra settings:
Check: "set mode i on startup" and "connect on startup".
encoding: change it to UTF-8.
Nickserv password: Password you registered your nick.
Autojoin:
Type: channel name and press add.

Now you can press save and double click Freenode text.

I use IceChat9, so I can only help with it.
