In no particular order…

http://shawncornally.com/wordpress/?p=673 SBG FAQ
http://alwaysformative.blogspot.com/2010/03/translating-to-letter-grade.html Conjunctive Grading and Final Grades in SBG
http://samjshah.com/2011/06/15/to-reassess-or-how-to-make-more-work-for-me/ On reassessment policies and implementation details
http://101studiostreet.com/wordpress/?p=1377 SBG Variations on a theme—three different visions of implementing SBG in different subjects
http://activegrade.com/blog/2012/07/avoiding-sbg-push-back/ Avoiding SBG pushback—how to preemptively respond to common fears/misconceptions about SBG

A few extras that didn't make it into my top 5 above

http://alwaysformative.blogspot.com/2010/04/almost-formative.html When you think you're giving formative assessments but aren't, really—how do you help students move forward with the feedback you've given them?
http://fromamathclass.blogspot.com/2012/07/idea-for-reassessment.html Box of reassessment cards
http://shawncornally.com/wordpress/?p=1092 More of Shawn going delightfully radical about helping kids respond to failure and point addiction
http://blog.msbethea.com/?cat=19 The great series of Unhelpful Grading Practices posts
http://alwaysformative.blogspot.com/2010/07/picard-not-data.html Who is in charge of this ship?

There's a lot more out there—these were the first things that came to mind in my search for implementation details, etc.

The details of my own particular implementation, real feedback I've gotten from students, some SBG theory, and my physics objectives are here: http://kellyoshea.wordpress.com/standards-based-grading/
