Your key is not importable :D

  $ gpg --import stanley.asc
  gpg: CRC error; C68D2A - 29357C
  gpg: read_block: read error: Invalid keyring
  gpg: import from `stanley.asc' failed: Invalid keyring
  gpg: Total number processed: 0

Edit: Your key is way too short.

This was my mistake! It's not too short. I search-and-replaced my h2 tags with h3, which broke the key. Oops.

I've fixed it now.

Now it works, nevertheless it still is (too) short, because you are using a soon-to-be insecure key size:

"In 2010, France’s Agence Nationale de la Securite des Systems d’Information stated they had confidence in RSA-2048 until at least 2020."

:( That was the default size suggested to me by gpg.

2048-bit RSA keys are still very common and the least of your worries for quite a while.

There's a 2 swapped with a 3:
