gpg normaly creates a keyring for you, when you run it first it should
have created a "secring" and a "pubring" in your home dir under
~/.gnupg/

You can check that your key is in your gpg ring with a gpg --list-keys

to import a new key use  "--recv-key"

eg: gpg -recy-key 0x3b7ee764

or you can use email address instead of the short fingerprint.

Its useful to learn the command options for gpg but if you want a more
graphical front end try kgpg for one

Have a look at

for lots of info on the glugs wiki!
