How to Create HTML Sitemap Page in Blogger Blog
Exam time for me and it’s getting hard to be regular with my articles. Anyhow, recently I shared my blogger sitemap page URL on facebook and got many messages from others asking how to make one, so this post is simply for them. You will learn how to create a sitemap page in just 2 minutes. Before getting started do have a look at our sitemap page.
What is a Sitemap Page ?
Sitemap is just a simple list of your blog posts which usually helps crawlers and bots to crawl your blog properly. It increases your blogs crawl rate and also helps in fast indexing of your latest posts.
Our new sitemap page has all of our blog posts listed in a label categorized manner. So in this post I will share the code and the method to make one such sitemap page for your blogger blog too.
How to Make Sitemap in blogger
I will be keeping it short and simple, just implement it and you will get your sitemap made in just 2 minutes. So here are the steps to create table of contents page for your blogger blog.
Step 1
Open your blogger dashboard and click on Create new Page.
Step 2
Now click on HTML as shown in the image.
Step 3
Give a Name to the page (Sitemap or anything you wish) and Paste the following code in the Html section of the page. Make sure to replace https://www.thenextseo.co.in with your blog URL.
NOTE: Don’t edit other codes, there are some more words like “thenextseo”, don’t edit them. They are just the function names. If you edit those, it won’t work
