Content is definitely more important than form and flash, and without the content I wouldn't be interested in the other stuff. But if I enjoy reading someone's material, I become curious about their taste in music, books, etc. Being a Flickr fan, I like to see if they have a Flickr badge with some photos. Fred Wilson's page is a great example, I go there for his content, but I have also found out about some good music by looking at his rotation column. It's the deeper experience that I enjoy moreso than the flashy web design, etc.
But by the same token, there many sites where I just want the main content- because there isn't anything else or because I am less interested in the "sidebar content." For those Onfolio does the job perfectly.
P.S. Thanks for the heads up re my trackbacks. I didn't realize they weren't showing up on the item pages. I think I have it fixed now.
