I tried connecting through webchat in Konqueror the other day, and it wouldn't work at all. Personally, I prefer to use Quassel (or X-Chat), and configure a nickname. If you want to do that, you'll configure networks, and choose Freenode. The servers are chat.freenode.net (port 6665) and chat.freenode.net (port 7000). After you've connected, you can type /msg NickServ HELP REGISTER and it will tell you how to register a nickname. IIRC, it's /msg NickServ REGISTER nickname password email-address (they send you a verification link to the email address).
>From then on, you can use your nickname when you log in. Also, if you have a nickname that you registered via webchat, you can use /msg NickServ IDENTIFY password to log in with it (you'll want to configure Quassel to use it though).
