As the author of the recipe, I'll take a stab.

The short answer is you should use lat/lon values, in decimal format
(e.g. convert 36d 24' 36" to 36.3355 or what have you).

Ah, cool, the Geocoder site should solve my problem.  Many thanks.  It would probably be worth adding a link to it on the Cookbook page.
