 Stop Cumulus and edit [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station | cumulus.ini (station section)]] within the main Cumulus folder. Change the "StartDate=" line. Be sure to use the same format for the date.
-This start date (that Cumulus first started tracking all-time records) is on the default Cumulus ''recordsT.htm'' template twice once with the label "''Records began on" followed by [[Webtags#Records |<#recordsbegandate>]]. Here are the extremes recorded since then.'' and once with the label "''Records since" followed by [[Webtags#Records |<#recordsbegandate>]]'', note it does ''not'' need to be updated for Cumulus to recognise earlier data in log files in its ''data'' subfolder and obviously there is an alternative of editing description to say "Cumulus began on" and leaving cumulus.ini unchanged.
+'''Note''' ''StartDate=xxxx'' does ''not'' need to be updated for Cumulus to recognise earlier data in log files in its ''data'' subfolder.
+It really represents "Cumulus began on", so there is an alternative of leaving cumulus.ini unchanged, but editing default Cumulus ''recordsT.htm'' template twice:
+*after the h2 heading is ''&lt;p&gt;Records began on <#recordsbegandate>. Here are the extremes recorded since then.&lt;/p&gt;'';  you can replace '<#recordsbegandate>' with the new earliest date typed in as text; and
+*at the start of the table is the ''&lt;caption&gt;Records Since <#recordsbegandate>&lt;/caption&gt;''; replace the label "Records since" with "Cumulus began on" leaving the web tag unchanged.
