Last week Gawker posted an acerbic but helpful guide to some cliches to avoid unless you don't mind your blog blending in with all the others out there run by 15 year old girls/snarky overgrown hipsters.

Still not sure though if your blog post passes the cliche test? Daniel Tsadok prepared a helpful Cliche Detector that you can run your writing through before you post. And guess what: this posts passes with flying colors. (although that, technically, is an actual cliche.)
