You already have a public GPG key, you just need to publish/advertise it. Read the section of the GnuPG guide on exporting your public key, as well as the advise on disseminating it. See http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/guides.en.html The more people you can get to sign your public key (building the web of trust), the better. Read up on key-signing parties.
