NEW CHATZILLA TUTORIAL

Firefox 3 and Chatzilla plugin (Sept 17/08) (pre 0.9.86)

	Welcome to Chatzilla! Select Tools, and then Chatzilla.
	This is your very first screen. First you want to change your name. On the button on the bottom left, select the option "Change Nickname..." Use whatever name you like; I recommend your forum name, so we know who you are ;)
	Alright, now your name is set. Go up to the top left, and click on ChatZilla. Select "preferences". This is the window that will pop up.
	Select the tab marked "StartUp". We're going to make your IRC-career so much easier for November. On the section marked "Auto-connect URLs", click on the "add" button.
	Type in Goodchatting's server EXACTLY as you see it here: irc://irc.goodchatting.com Then click OK. NOW, close the Chatzilla window, and reload it again from the Tools menu. Goodchatting ought to connect you automatically when you load the application! Hooray! You can either type "/join #edmontonwrimos" in the little bar next to your username and get to chatting, or with a little more customization, we can make your chatting even easier still!
	Click on "Chatzilla" and "preferences" again. Now, under "Global Settings", you will see the Goodchatting server. This will be selected automatically. Click on the tab marked "Lists". Right on top is "Auto-perform".
	Click on "Add". Here you can set IRC commands to run as soon as you connect to the server. Just type in "/join #edmontonwrimos" and hit "OK" twice. Now close Chatzilla, and reload again. Goodchatting will connect, and then you'll join #edmontonwrimos. Chat away!

Edit 9/7/09: Fixed a typo! (and a really big one too! *facepalm*)

Just checking this out so I can reset my IRC settings and I found a typo -

The "/join #emontonwrimos" part. :) Thanks again for the tutorial! It saves my ass every time my computer forgets my preferences.
