LJ Talk setup in Pidgin?

I thought I knew how to set this up, but I keep getting an error.

Protocol: XMPP
username: misterx
domain: livejournal.com
resource: Home
password: ********

This doesn't work, I get:
"misterx@livejournal.com/Home disconnected. Read error."

I also tried the above, plus added:
Connect Server: livejournal.com
on the advanced tab, and that didn't work either, same error.

Anyone else having problems?

me.

and now it's working...

Apparently I just had to wait a while. I made no changes to the settings. Go figure.

argh

If anybody feels like diagnosing why the menu is going in back of the mid-page graphic instead of in front of it, I'd be most appreciative. Fails in IE7, works in Firefox 2 & 3. I'm sick of looking at it. Z-index for menu is higher than z-index of graphic. It should be in front then?!? http://www.iw8.org/index.php?page=t-shirts I'm usually not this stupid with CSS.
