    Mary Baum: A World of Styling Tricks in Two Little Words: Body. Classes.

    WordCamp Phoenix 2016Speaker: Mary Baum

    October 27, 2016 — Never let it be said that this flying fat broad has body issues. Oh no. How many times have you needed to tweak a category of posts to make some element fit a little better?
