June,

The position shown on findu, and as the 'APRS Location' on 
http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/c3462 are the same (and wrong). 
This position comes from the information that you configured into 
Weatherlink when you set it up. I believe that if you look in the 
weatherlink setup, you will find the 35/0/0 and 82/12/0 location 
entered. This should be changed to 35/2/49 and 82/11/0

Once you do this, findu will update within 10 minutes or so. The 'APRS 
Location' will update overnight, and that section (with it's red 
warning) should drop off your page entirely.
