That is outside the scope of this thread, if you need a tutorial on how to use Freenode's IRC services, go to Google (http://www.google.com).

Simple answer, just join it, and it will be auto-created, and you will get ops.
A useful source of help is the chanserv and nickserv help commands.  (/msg chanserv help)

I believe some clients also offer abbreviated versions of /msg ChanServ and /msg NickServ. /cs and /ns, at least in Colloquy.

Many servers have those on their end as well. Looks to me like freenode does.

They don't seem to work with Irssi, though.

Just doing that can break security on crappy networks (imagine someone is able to get on with the nick 'chanserv', or you're on a network that has no chanserv and without thinking type /cs login mysekretpasswoid...)

Syntac, find yourself dispatch.pl - a script which takes any commands not recognized by irssi and feeds them through to the server directly.  Otherwise, if you type a /command and get an error from irssi, prefix it with 'quote'; ie, '/quote cs help' instead of '/cs help'.

Thanks for the tip. Although I primarily use Colloquy, so meh. :-\
