@2porter – I just checked, and have no problem with inserting a recipe anywhere into the blog post or page with either the visual editor or the html editor.
NOTE: if you use the visual editor, you MUST take care where your cursor is traveling when you continue to add text to your blog post. The visual editor is very easy to use, but it does strip a fair bit of power from you, the user, to achieve that ease of use.
Also, and I’ll write about this a lot in the near future. Rich snippets are like SEO, except they’re there own thing. If you’re a blogger, you have had to learn at least a little bit about SEO to reap the benefits. Rich snippets are like that. You don’t need to know much, but if you know nothing at all, your options will be constrained.
Another way to look at it: you can deal with rich snippets by 1. spending time actually learning the technology (it’s butt simple, really, it is), or 2. you can spend that *same* time learning a user interface to that technology.
Again, I’ll be writing a lot more about this over the next few months. Rich snippet technology isn’t difficult, and it’s every bit as important in the long term as learning simple SEO.
