Offset specifies which side and how far you want to put the shadow. Input offset of X axis on the left and Y axis on the right. If you enter 1,1, the shadow will appear 1 pixel right and below of the original text.  On the contrary, if you input -2, -2, the shadow will appear 2 pixels left and above of the text.

Blur Radius makes the edge of the shadow blurred. As the value approached to 0, the edge becomes clearer and as the value increases, the edge becomes more blurred making the shadow natural.

The examples below shows the result of various offset and blur radius setting.
