Hi,

I've had this problem myself. I've found that one of the easiest
interfaces to get/publish my public key(s) is Biglumber.com, for the
following reasons:
 - The www link is short
 - It includes links to KeyAnalyze reports (to verify signature paths
=66rom/to you)
 - It supports (and displays!) image IDs without additional software
 - Its authentication nicely incorporates encryption for password
delivery (a nice example of OpenPGP use)
 - last but not least... it lists keysigning events, as well as
people who are interested in keysignings.

The maintainer is very receptive to suggestions, too.

BTW, since I have several keys, I'll be giving out one URL with
various biglumber.com links and maybe the preferred keyservers I use.
One of my biglumber.com entries is:
http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?ev=3D50497;qs=3D174

Of course, this does not eliminate the propagation problem you
mentioned. I actually upload my keys to several different keyservers,
which was discussed (well, at least replied to) in this thread:

Let us know what works best for you.
