Do that too.

To put your key on a public keyserver, first configure GPG to use a
keyserver. I put the line:

keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net

in my ~/.gnupg/options or ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file (the two files are
basically equivalent, and the one you have will depend on the version of
gnupg installed when you first used it).

Then use the --send-keys option of gpg to upload your key (see "man
gpg").
