Configuring both widgets really very simple as all the given options can be selected by just mark the provided radio buttons and also from the drop down list to select the value.

For Title box, it is a ready-made for Popular Posts in plural. It means, if you are ready to display more than one number of post in the activated widget.

It is a periodical type of analyzation on your blog post under Most viewed category/element related to the respective post's visitors' profiling and trending to the period of time selected.

BR not provided in your blog Stats, and BR is very important as it gives value by percentage. If the BR percentage is high, there are two (2) main reasons or sources; unrelated post's content for visitors to read which is also directly related to their country of origin AND another reason is your blog post page speed. So, got to think about both factors for what to amend or update the content and how to enhance the page downloading speed, technically known as page speed. 

Whatever, high BR can be compensated by viewing the data for visitors' Average Time on that particular blog post. If the Average Time figure shown high by referring to your blog post length/deep on that post page, for sure and it means that the post receiving many Unique Visitors. Worth it! what? 

- Traffic Source (TS):

Although your blog Stats provided TS data, but it would be much better to also refer toTop pages under Filters... in your Google Webmaster Tools account. Which one contributed the highest from Search engine, Referring sites, Mobile (smartphone), Direct, Video, Image. Who knows! may be you got many or highest visitors sourced from your embedded images!
