Guided study courses omit the blog posts, and replace them with extra written assignments. I personally recommend the online version as the blog posts take almost no time to do and give you an easy A on 23% of the course. Some people seem to REALLY hate the idea of the blog posts and go with guided study. There are a couple of long threads on LIB-495 experiences. I recommend researching the prof on ratemyprofessor.com and Google before picking a section. Apparently some profs have been known to be sticklers about what subjects they'll allow and others don't provide an example paper. I had Dr James Cody and liked him a lot. He was pretty liberal with approving topics, was thorough and specific in marking the draft chapters, and had a good example paper.
