I love the step by step pictures, but it's hugely long. Do you mind cutting after the first picture, please? :)

I love pumpkin cheesecake. :)

If you bake it in a water bath next time, you're much less likely to crack! :)

Water bath

Yes, the recipe I have actually calls for a water bath, but I'm too lazy! LOL

That is a really odd thing to be doing with the pumpkin, never seen that before. I assume taht is to cut down on the moisture but I figured all recipes compensate for that?

Moisture

Yes, it's to cut down on the moisture. It seems to be the best way to keep the batter from being too runny.

I love pumpkin stuff and love cheesecake, so this looks perfect to me :)
I've never seen canned pumpkin in the shops here, but I imagine I can just use fresh.
