I'll be looking into getting a web page set up for my keys, but for
now, I distribute them via email auto-responder. Just click on the
mailto in my signature, and send the resulting email message. An
auto-reply with the keys will be sent immediately.

And this is why I prefer to distribute my own keys. For the moment,
via email, and when I can finally get it together, on a web page.
