  Ciao all.
  Just looking at my site stats and I have no idea what this ‘referrer’ is.
  What/who is this referrer? And what are they doing with my posts?
  Thanks in advance.

  A referrer is a site that links to your blog.

  @laavventura
  Please see this support documentation entry and note there is much mor information on your stats in the full entry.

  Referrers
  The referrers section lists other blogs and web sites that link to your blog. A view is counted as a referrer when a visitor of the other site clicks a link and lands on a URL of your blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#referrers
