Greetings---

The following is offered to help you acquire a Jabber account using Pidgin as the client. This is but one way, there are others. There are also other domains but a few are offered here.

And FFS don't give me a bunch of shit - I am trying to help


Download Pidgin for your OS  - http://www.pidgin.im/download/

1) Launch/run Pidgin
A setup window "Add Account" will appear.
Do the following exactly as stated (If no instructions are given leave blank)

2) Adding an Account
Protocol : Select "XMPP" from the drop down menu
Domain: **Choose from list below
Username ; You pick :)
Password:  You pick :)
Select remember password. (You don't have to but I have never had problems)
At the very bottom check "Create this new account on the server"
Click "Add"


**Domains: jabber.ccc.de OR jabber.org OR  dukgo.com are just a few.  Some require you sign up jabber.ccc.de does not!


3) Registering the account
After a few moments a window will ask you to verify your registration.
If registration is denied the likely cause is that user name is in effect. Try a few different one.  If still having problems contact me.


4) Enable account.
In the Buddy List window under Accounts select Manage Accounts
Insure that your nickname is checked off.
Close the window.


5) Disable Logging
In Buddy List window under Tools>Preferences>Logging
Uncheck all the boxes.
Close the window.


6) Get OTR - Off-The-Record plugin
Get the appropriate download based upon your OS > http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/
Install/run OTR
Go to Buddy List window under Tools>Plug-ins and look for the OTR plugin.
Select the plug-in
Configure plug-in at bottom of window.
Uncheck logging.
Close the window.
***Remember to "Start Private Conversation" under OTR when chatting with a Buddy




7) Adding a Buddy.
In the Buddy List window under Buddies select Add a Buddy
For Buddy's username be sure to include the domain they use NOT just their nick.
Click add and wait for the authorization prompt to appear at the button of your Buddy List window.


8) Joining a chat room
In the Buddy List window under Buddies select Add a Chat
Room:  enter the name of the room
Domain: Pidgin will automatically use the domain you are registered under so ensure that is in fact the correct domain. If not change it!
You may choose a different handle if you wish but it should automatically fill it in with your chosen nickname.
Click "Add"

YOU DID IT \(^-^)/



Now #STFU, lurk and learn something. j/k Lucy loves ya. ;=]
