 === How do I create a conference? ===
-Use "Add Chat" option in a "Buddies" menu, then choose XMPP account type, fill in needed fields (at least room name for a new conference). Then find your newly created conference in a roster, and click on it. A new popup dialog appears, which allows you to configure more options for this room. Then you are ready to add your buddies to the room.
+There are two methods:
+  1. '''Join the conference'''
+    a. Select "Join a Chat" from the buddy list's "Buddies" menu.
+    a. Select your XMPP account.
+    a. Fill in the fields you see.
+      * "Room" should be the short name of the conference.  For example, "myconference"
+      * "Server" is the server on which the conference will be created.  It must be a MUC server, such as conference.jabber.org.  The chat's ID will be Room@server, so the example "myconference" would have the id "myconference@conference.jabber.org.
+      * "Handle" is the name you wish to be displayed in the chat.  It is similar in concept to a nickname on IRC.
+      * "Password" is optional for creating a new room.  You probably don't want to fill this field in.
+    a. Click "Join."
+    a. You will see a dialog asking you about creating the new room.  You can either accept the default configuration or configure the room, at your option.
+  1. '''Add the conference to your roster (buddy list)'''
+    a. Select "Add Chat" from the buddy list's "Buddies" menu.
+    a. Select your XMPP account.
+    a. Fill in the fields you see.
+      * "Room" should be the short name of the conference.  For example, "myconference"
+      * "Server" is the server on which the conference will be created.  It must be a MUC server, such as conference.jabber.org.  The chat's ID will be Room@server, so the example "myconference" would have the id "myconference@conference.jabber.org.
+      * "Handle" is the name you wish to be displayed in the chat.  It is similar in concept to a nickname on IRC.
+      * "Password" is optional for creating a new room.  You probably don't want to fill this field in.
+      * "Alias" is the alias you wish to assign to the chat.  By assigning an alias, you can display a useful description in the buddy list instead of the chat's name.
+      * "Group" is the group in your buddy list in which you wish the chat to appear.
+    a. Click "Add."
+    a. Find the chat in your buddy list and double-click it.
+    a. You will see a dialog asking you about creating the new room.  You can either accept the default configuration or configure the room, at your option.
