+ <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>

+ clicking the <gui style="add">Add</gui> button. Select the
+ appropriate key server type. Key servers are identified by the
+ protocol they use to communicate. Look for the first few letters in
+ the Internet URL of your key server to identify its type. In the
+ <gui style="input">Host</gui> field, paste the Internet URL of your
+ key server, and click <gui style="button">OK</gui>. To remove a key
+ server from the list, select it with your mouse and click

+ checkbox to ensure that any modifications to a key on the
+ key server, like a signature are updated on your copy of the key
+ too.</p>
