I use the excellent Yoast WordPress SEO plugin.  This plugin adds noindex,follow  tags to author links, archive pages and other areas in WordPress that can cause Duplicate Content issues in Google.

You can either use Yoast (Which you have already installed) or All in one SEO pack. Both works good to use non indexing robots.

Few things that can help

1. Linking: Try to link your blogs posts with other similar pages or posts of your websites. Internal linking impacts a lot. I even suggest some external links (with no-follow tag) to relevant authority sources (Wikipedia or others).
2. Remove Meta section in sidebar. This looks bit unprofessional in deed
3. You have some external links in your posts without no-follow tag. This is not recommended. Please make them no-follow i.e
4. External links should be opened in new tabs. Right now, it's just an open way to navigate away from your blog. use this tag: 

I hope this will help!

Hi,

As everyone had mentioned, I would also suggest using Yoast. With this plugin, you can simply go to SEO >>> Tags & Metas >>> Click on either Post Types / Taxonomies / Others and check the box to noindex/nofollow tags, pages and etc.  By doing so, it will help you avoid having duplicate content in a lot of ways.

Another way to avoid duplicate content is go to Appearance >>> Editor >>> Go to both Category and Tag php and search for the_content and change it to the_excerpt.  This will make all the articles in your category into excerpts instead of showing the whole article.  This might be a little advance so be careful when editing the code as it can mess up your whole website.

Now as for recommendations, I would suggest the following:

• Remove the meta widget on the right
• Remove the Menu widget on the right and add it to the top navigation.  As it will help visitors navigating the website.
• I would optimize the title tag.  I would include primary and secondary keywords in the title tag.
• I would also use descriptive text for the image alt
