Add a new sitemap to blogger

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add a new sitemap to Blogger:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a Blogger account and a blog set up.
  2. You have basic knowledge of HTML and XML.

Step 1: Create a new sitemap.xml file

  1. Open a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit.
  2. Create a new file and save it as sitemap.xml (make sure to include the .xml extension).
  3. In the file, add the following code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
 <loc>https://yourblog.blogspot.com/</loc>
 <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
 <priority>1.0</priority>
</url>
</urlset>

    Replace https://yourblog.blogspot.com/ with your blog's URL.

Step 2: Add more URLs to the sitemap

  1. To add more URLs to the sitemap, you can add more <url> elements. For example:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
 <loc>https://yourblog.blogspot.com/</loc>
 <changefreq>daily</changefreq>
 <priority>1.0</priority>
</url>
<url>
 <loc>https://yourblog.blogspot.com/your-post-1</loc>
 <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
 <priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
<url>
 <loc>https://yourblog.blogspot.com/your-post-2</loc>
 <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
 <priority>0.5</priority>
</url>
</urlset>

    Replace https://yourblog.blogspot.com/your-post-1 and https://yourblog.blogspot.com/your-post-2 with the URLs of your blog posts.

Step 3: Upload the sitemap to your Blogger blog

  1. Log in to your Blogger account and go to the "Settings" page.
  2. Click on "Search Preferences" and then click on "Sitemaps".
  3. Click on the "Add or remove a sitemap" button.
  4. Enter the URL of your sitemap file (e.g. https://yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml) and click "Save".

Step 4: Verify your sitemap

  1. Go to the Google Search Console (GSC) and sign in with your Google account.
  2. Click on "Sitemaps" and then click on "Submit a sitemap".
  3. Enter the URL of your sitemap file (e.g. https://yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml) and click "Submit".
  4. Wait for Google to crawl and index your sitemap.

That's it! Your new sitemap should now be added to your Blogger blog and submitted to Google Search Console.
