It kinda is, sometimes anyway

I did most of the art on the site, especially the line drawings. If you don't see a credit or 'don't know' note for an artwork, then the shit was me.

If you don't see photo credits [or a note like 'photographed by?'] for a picture, I made the snap. No year mentioned for one of my own snaps= taken same year as posted. Don't cite a date/name for others' photos= don't know. Please share any photo/art credits I am lacking.

I'm happy to answer any questions, pleasureiseasy at gmail.

How

I code this site myself in plain text, but I based my layout on a style called A Sturdy Gesture that Martin Atkins wrote for Livejournal.

Speaking of Livejournal, if you're a member and you'd like to read pleasureiseasy.info on your 'friends list', just add pleasureiseasy. Naturally, every page also has the standard rss and atom links..

For my blog engine, I use Movable Type 3.33. Working on upgrading to version 4 soon. Here's my CSS stylesheet.

Search pleasureiseasy

When search, the Movable Type engine queries the titles, text, and authors of entries and comments. It doesn't search the 'file under' fields. To find posts filed under a category like 'male beauty' or 'hero worship', check the directory. The Moveable Type engine also doesn't search any song lyrics I've posted. To locate lyrics, follow the links from entries filed under 'sung'.
