I found this nifty print screen device, and am about to test it out here. 
Yay! It worked.
Ok, lets take a look at this month.
Rent: Last month at this rate. 
Renter's Insurance: This is going into a sinking fund - so not really spent.
Charity: I only did my pledge this month. Next month I am probably going to start sponsoring a child through Children's International - maybe two.
Groceries: I totally and completely blew my grocery budget this month. But thanks to the nifty YNAB tool where you can see all your spending transactions for a category, I can see that approximately $90 of this spending are for things that will last me through the end of May, and one item which will probably last me through July.
Laundry: Went to a different laundromat. Their dryers were a minimum of $1.25. So 3 loads wash, and then put them all in one dryer load (added a quarter.)
Clothing: Bought a new pair of pants, a couple tops, along with some needed necessaries from Ebay.
Meds: The actual spent is less due to the $25 gift card. Just my allergy med and other normal med.
Haircare: I had six-inches cut at Fanatastic Sam's today. It was 25 for the cut, plus an extra $5 for the length. Then I gave the stylist a $6 tip. Before my CA trip I want to get highlights. Now that my hair is a bit shorter, hopefully the highlights will cost less.
Misc: I am grandfathered in the Delphi Advanced member plan. It is another forum I frequent often. This is the yearly subscription fee. If I let it expire on me, my cheapest option would be $39.95 a year for a lot of stuff I wouldn't even use.
Fitness: $250 is part of the Personal Training session; $18 is for the Sportbrain pedometer.
Car Insurance: This wasn't really spent this month - it's more just an accounting thing for me.
Gas: Only 2 fill ups this month! Yay!
Tolls: Ugh
Cable: Back to normal.
Netflix: I did go ahead and put this on hold. I may end up just canceling it altogether, time will tell.
Phone/Int: This bill was before all the phone tapping mess.
Earnings:
Carpool: My rider was out sick one week.
Giftcards: My CVS giftcard - used to pay for prescription.
Reimbursements: $298 from Root Canal; $68 from Geico.
Interest Income: $100 - Chase Account Bonus; $26.54 from ING, HSBC and TDAmeritrade.

Have you tried using Redbox for movies? We love it!

I'm not sure what you are asking about.
If you're asking about how I got the picture of my budget into my blog . . .
First, I set up a very simple spreadsheet in MS works (don't have excel on my home computer). Then each month I've been transferring the numbers to it - just to get the big overview.
Second, I downloaded a Print Screen program (Print Key 2000). Which I then used to take a snapshot of my computer screen, and cut out just the portion I wanted to show, and saved a jpg.
If you're asking how I used YNAB to see all my spending transactions for a particular budget section . . .
First, make sure you have "tooltips" turned on (in settings). Then just hover your mouse pointer in the "spent" section of whichever category you're interested in seeing - it may take up to 30 seconds for it to appear.
Hope I answered you're question.

By the way great job on the food categories. Ours were horrible for March.

Yes, I transfered it to a spreadsheet first. I could have done it directly from YNAB, but my YNAB budget is longer than one screenshot. Also, I wanted to display the info a little bit differently than I have it in YNAB.
Thanks.
