+  <title>How can I publish my public keys?</title>
+
+  <p>After you <link xref="create-pgp-key">create</link> your PGP keypair you
+  can choose to publish the <em>Public key</em> on it. This makes the key
+  easily accessible to anybody who wants to communicate with you and saves you
+  the hassle of mailing the key individually to all your communicators.
+  However, you can also choose to not publish your key if you wish to share it
+  with only a select few people. You need a working Internet connection to
+  publish your keys.</p>
