Jabber Client Setup: Linuxkidd.com
Here are some options we recommend after you get online with PSI.

1.	Run PSI
	a)	Upon initial execution of PSI, you'll be asked if you need to register a new account. If so continue to step 2. Otherwise, skip to step 3.
2.	You should now see the following window:

	a)	Enter 'linuxkidd.com' in the Server area at the top. (without the quotes)
	b)	Check the 'Manually Specify Server Host/Port' Check box.
	c)	Enter 'xmpp.linuxkidd.com' in the Host: area. (without the quotes)
	d)	Click 'Next' at the bottom right corner of the window.
	e)	A 'Server Authentication' window will appear. This is because linuxkidd.com uses Self Signed certificates. If you wish to verify the certificate, click on 'Details'. (image) Otherwise, click 'Continue'
	f)	In the next window, you will need to type in your desired username and password. No spaces are allowed in the username.
	g)	If all goes well, you should see a 'Success' window, click 'Ok'. Otherwise, follow the instructions to correct the problem.
3.	You should now see the following window:

	a)	Under the 'Settings' area in the lower half of the screen, make sure that 'Automatically connect on startup' and 'Automatically reconnect if disconnected' are both CHECKED.
	b)	If you skipped step 3, you will need to enter your Jabber ID and Password in the appropriate fields.
	c)	Click on the 'Connection' tab at the top of the screen.
	d)	Make sure that the 'Ignore SSL Warnings' option is checked toward the bottom of the window. This will prevent further warnings about the fact that Linuxkidd.com uses Self-Signed certificates.
	e)	Click 'Save'
5.	Go Online!

	a)	Click the dark 'Offline' star at the lower right of the PSI window
	b)	Click 'Online'
You should now have a closed lock and a Yellow star on either side of the Account name you entered.
Congratulations! You are now online with your new Jabber Account!
