I've found websites for the post-it multicolored board before and then lost them. What was lost now is found and shared with the rest of you all.
1. Julie Leto - PlotMonkeys post http://www.plotmonkeys.com/date/2007/05/05/
Interesting picture and nice layout technique, also the post is within a post on plotting with your pants on (for all those can't decide between plotting and pantsering(?))
2. Erica Ridley - Erica Writes post http://ericawrites.blogspot.com/2007/08/all-about-story-boards.html
Pictures to go with the words and step by step instructions
3. Carrie Ryan - Manuscript Mavens post http://manuscriptmavens.blogspot.com/2007/11/best-laid-plotting-boards.html
This is a post that will make you feel better if you can't seem to grasp a plotting board.

Shares her storyboard from her recent project, also notes she doesn't make it up until after she finishes her first draft.
I'll keep trying to add more.

Oooh! I LOVE plotting! What a great post, Amanda.
I subscribe to a few of the blogs you listed, and I think Diane Peterfreund's has a wealth of information. I loved her collage, and I have used that idea for my writing as well. However, I don't have room to have a physical board, so I went to http://pagii.com and made a virtual one for each of my characters. If you have MS Word you can use OneNote as well, which is another great plotting tool.
I love plotting too and have way too many books and websites swirling in my brain. This was one way to organize the websites that got away from me. I know there's a few I'm missing too.
