+# IRC Nicks (Or handles, or names)
+
+You *nick* in IRC is the name you go by, and how people get to know you, and how you get to know others.  You can set it to most anything you like, with some exceptions for which characters to use.
+
+## Registration
+
+Some channels require you to have a registered nick.  This means that nick has been reserved for you, and you alone.  One of these channels is #meta, which is where a lot of people meet and chat.
+
+To register your nick (Once you've picked one), you can do the following:
+
+```
+/msg nickserv register MySuperAwesomePassword me@example.com
+```
+
+Change 'MySuperAwesomePassword' and 'me@example.com' to fit you (ie, a good password, and your email address).
+
+You will get sent a confirmation email, which will have a code in it.  You must then message nickserv with this code, to confirm your account.
+
+## Logging in
+
+Once connected to IRC, you can then login using the following:
+
+```
+/msg nickserv identify MySuperAwesomePassword
+```
+
+## More Help
+
+Nickserv itself is self-documenting, which means you can interact with it, to get more help.
