I've don this without any programming. You can:

1. Download the iPhone app "Basic GPS" from iPhone Store.
2. Start an account at Twitter.com (if you don't already got one).
3. Start an e-mail-to-twitter account at Twittermail.com.
4. In Basic GPS settings use your secret e-mail address from Twittermail.
5. At Twitter.com/widgets click "Other" to get your HTML-code for publishing your Tweets elsewhere.
6. Put this HTML code on your homepage.
7. In Basic GPS you just click the blue "I" (on) button, "Email" and "Send" to send your position to Twittermail, which publish it on Twitter. And Twitter will automaticly publish it on your homepage.

See a working axample at http://CharlieBloom.com. Only the 3 latest (customizeable) Tweets are visible, click on "Follow me on Twitter" to se "My position ....." and a Google Maps-link. Positions are updated on my website 2-3 minutes after I have sent them.
