How do I use my Bitcoin-Qt wallet address on Blockchain.info?

My Bitcoin-Qt client is still synchronizing with the network. I'm unsure of how to use my Bitcoin-Qt wallet address on Blockchain.info. I've put my address on Blockchain.info as (watch only), but how do I get full access to my wallet on Blockchain.info?

I do have a passphrase and the wallet is locked. Does Bitcoin-Qt need to be fully synchronized with the network for me to be able to access my wallet?

The block chain can take a (very) long time to synchronize with.. patience, anon. – Izzy – 2013-07-30T13:31:32.313

You have to unlock your wallet, export the private key for your address and then import it to Blockchain.info. You don't even need Bitcoin-Qt then, because they store your privkey and your money!

Export the private key for a specific Bitcoin address from Bitcoin-Qt. Copy the value to your clipboard.
Import it into Blockchain.info wallet (log into your Blockchain.info wallet, click Import/Export tab, for the Import Private Key field paste the private key.)
