it has to do with whether or a link, using the regular html link code, passes any authority from the site the link is on to the site the link is to.... you can add rel="nofollow" to the code to make it so Google doesn't pass authority from the linking site to the linked site.... any link WITHOUT rel="nofollow" is dofollow, and passes authority.
Do follow allows robots to traverse the links in the page and do not follow advices the robots not to traverse. -
Setting do follow on your own blog won't help you in any way, except that you may get more comments on your posts. You'd probably get a lot of spam posts though. It does not allow you to follow your visitors or anything like that. Setting that option is just telling the search engines that it is okay to pass some value onto any url link in comments. Really it's probably only worth setting it as do follow if your blog is targeting the webmaster community.
