It is a Google-only phenomenon, and it basically only blocks the transferral of PageRank link love, the bots still take note of these links. When talking Yahoo of course, this attribute doesn't affect their bots or ranking, for that matter. A natural looking link profile will have approx 2/3 of links as no-follow with the rest as do-follow. Beware trying to get too high a percentage of links as do-follow, as this will also appear contrived to the google bots.

When you change your template with Blogger you are probably removing the code that took away the nofollow. It won't really affect your rankings though, it just makes it so you're not giving away links to your commentators! Yes it is!
