I'm not too surprised you have high search referrals; for sites that cover a lot of ground that seems to be the norm. For last year, 82% of my traffic came via search. Other important numbers are the number of pages per view or bounce rate; do searchers find other things on your blog to read, or are they done after the single page? #1 suggests the latter, but #2 on your list suggests, to me, that those people might bounce around your site a bit more (especially if WordPress recommends other posts to searchers, as some others do). Happy belated one year.
