How do I find out where traffic comes from?

    Please might anyone be kind enough to tell me if there is a way to find out where traffic has come from to reach my blog / how people have found my blog?
    If so, can you explain in really basic terms how to do it?
    I’m a total newcomer and a real technophobe and I must say I’m not finding WordPress very easy to navigate at the moment!
    Thank you so much for any help :-)

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    From the WP home page go to ” My Stats” and on the bottom left it will give you a list of referrers, links to your blog and search terms used. Also there is a world map which tells you the countries visitors to your blog are from. You can also go to your dashboard and in the toolbar there is a Sparkle Line, click that and that will take you to stats.

    Hope that helps a little.
