How to create sitemap for Blogger

Creating sitemap is very simple and this sitemap works for both self-hosted Blogger blogs and normal Blogger blogs. Just use this (atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500)next to your blogs URL. See example below.
http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
Now you have created sitemap for your Blogger blog, but you need to tell search engines about your sitemap so that bots can know your site structure. There are two ways to tell search engines about your sitemap.
1. Showing your sitemap in robots.txt file and 2. Submitting your sitemaps in Google webmaster tools

Adding your Blogger sitemap in robots.txt file

Login to your Blogger blog and go to dashboard >> settings >> search preferences and edit the custom robots.txt. Enable and paste the following text and click save changes. Make sure to change your blog name in Blogger sitemap below.

2	Disallow: /search

Allow: /

5	Sitemap: http://sureyea.blogspot.in/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

So whenever search engines crawls your site they will access your Blogger sitemap from robots.txt file.
