You can D/L the key from the keyserver(s) and assign a level of trust
you're comfortable with. Don't sign the key until you verify it's
validity via other means (usually a keysigning where you check IDs).

Once you do sign a key, you can upload it to the keyservers to help
expand the web of trust.

My keys (0x7527701B & 0x94B67A4B) are available from these servers:

keyserver pgp.mit.edu
keyserver gnv.us.ks.cryptnet.net
keyserver wwwkeys.us.pgp.net
keyserver www.keyserver.net
keyserver keyserver.kjsl.com
