Creating sitemap for self-hosted WordPress is easy. You just need to install Google Sitemap Plugins which you can download for free.

Make no mistake, creating a sitemap for blogger.com / blogspot is even easier if you only know how. Basically creating sitemap need two steps: (i) Verification, to verify that you own the blog and (ii) Submitting Sitemap, to tell the search engine about your blog and every articles you have written. In return, Google search will tell the world about them (your blog and the contents) after the two procedures are done.

Now, follow these simple steps if you run a blog in blogger.com / blogspot:

First step: Verification

• Login to your blogger.com account.
• Scroll-down and find out  “Webmaster Tools” -> click it. If you coudn’t find it, click here (remeber to click this link after login to your account).
• Now, you have verified your blog. Congrats!

Second step: Submit the sitemap

• You now have entered into Webmaster tools area. Find your blog URL there and click it. Example,  I clcik -> mysite.blogspot.com
• In the Dashboard click “Site Configuration -> Sitemaps -> click “Submit a Sitemap”
• There will be your blog address like http://mysite.blogspot.com/–blankboxhere–
• Copy and paste this code in the blankbox -> atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100
• Click “Submit Sitemaps”. Done.

Congratulations! Now you have told Google search about the first 100 posts of your blog contents.

Important: If you have more than 100 articles, say 200, repeat the second step and submit another Sitemap by changing the number into 101 and 200 like this one: atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=101&max-results=200

Likewise, if you have 300 articles in your blog, you have to submit three sitemaps. The third sitemaps should be like this: atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=201&max-results=300

Repeat the process and submit more sitemaps if you have hundreds of articles or even thousands of postings.

Wish you luck!
