Without reading, I don't think they're telling you to actually *do* New Londo. I do frequently dip down there to grab the firekeeper soul by the first ghost (make sure you've used your souls; it will almost certainly be a suicide run if you're not used to doing it), and then depending on my build, take an immediate right after coming down on the elevator to then go up another elevator to Drakes, but don't actually do that stupid area unless you really want the RTSR. You just cross the bridge which brings you to the "exit" of Blighttown.
here's a link to the Game Progress Route page I was looking at. Seems crazy and not sure it's something I want to try. It doesn't really go into any detail about running through to grab stuff. It seems to suggest doing the areas in their entirety before moving on to the next.

As for what sequence you *should* use, that depends on your build. What are you playing/using?
first time I played the game I went full on strength. This time I'm doing more of a quality build and started with the Warrior. I want to eventually get to where I can do SOME spells but I don't enjoy that part of these games enough to base my entire build around it (standing back and firing off Sould Arrows nonstop at the start of the game isn't all that fun to me.

you cant open the seal to the four kings right away anyways, that guide is suggesting you grab something from the area and use the master key to get into blighttown from the back.
lot of good loot in blighttown, like Power Within and Iaito. (Katana)

Fextra has its uses, but there’s a reason using it is considered a last resort in the community

Do you have a weapon in mind? I usually go claymore on a quality build (I’m a sucker for weapons I can get early and keep all game). Anyway, my “normal” route, to the best of my memory while I’m sitting in court:
Asylum > loot the graveyard for souls > undead burg (kill the knight to get the BTSR and chunk) > (just before Taurus, break box and kill crystal lizard to get a titanite drop) kill Taurus > kick down bridge ladder > grab claymore > start of undead parish (kill knight in tower to get second chunk, go up the stairs to the right and rush the gate to save having to go through the basement, make sure to open the gate back up and grab the key) > Andre > kill big knight and grab keeper soul, unlock fire link elevator > back to Andre to upgrade weapon to +5 (buy all the shards you need, buy the weapon upgrade kit) > gargoyles and bell > kick Lautrec off the ledge in fire link > back to Andre to Darkroot Garden to grab elite knight set (I like the legs for Capra) and kill Moonlight Butterfly, bone back > New Londor fire keeper soul > +2 estus with fire link fire keeper > down to New Londo and back up Drakes (need master key) to go the back way to blight town, grab the third fire keeper soul on the way down (you’ll probably die, so use souls first) > get to the bottom and sit, then go grab the two large shards in the area, upgrade weapon at fire > Qualag and bell > chaos daughter fire, demon ruins fire, jump cheese Ceaseless > back to fire link, grab the souls and fire rest shield from the undead dragon on the way up, Havel > Capra > dip into the Depths to grab the large ember, sometimes grab the large shard by the Channeler, depending on what I got from the first crystal lizard > return to Asylum for Stray (slab) and doll > Sen’s (six large shards, two chunk giant drops) > Anor Londo
I’ll stop there, as that should take you a bit. But for context, I can knock that out, start to finish, in a touch over three hours. Straight muscle memory at this point
Eta: Being you want some magic at some point, don’t forget to grab your two vendors in lower undead burg and the depths.
