I dont think I understand how to post MY public key

I totally understand how to import other people's keys and how to encrypt my own messages to send to others. But I don't think I know how to post my public key. In my GPG keychain I've made keys with my address that say Sec/Pub under type. But when I export it it's some weird file that I don't know what to do with. I expected a pgp block like all the vendors have on their profiles, so they could upload my key. Am I doing something wrong?

If you're using Tails, it is indeed not obvious;

Manage keys --> select your PGP key --> edit --> copy

Edit: that 'weird' file might contain your private key, so don't share it.

have you tried google searching this issue before making a post on reddit? try opening the .asc file with text edit, and google search before posting next time, or at least go to /r/gpgpractice
