          How to create site maps for blogger blogs 
  Blogger blogs by default have an XML site map generator. You don’t need to do anything for your site maps to be generated. There are generated automatically.

However the site maps that are generated are just for  26 recent posts. You will need to create other site map(s) so that your older post can be remembered by search engines. One of the simplest ways to do this is by using this code
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
              Submit this to Google  for your first 500 post
   If you have more than 500 post ,create another site map  OF 500 post by replacing 1 with 501
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
     Submit this second site map to Google and proceed to the next 500 by replacing 1 with 1001 this time around till you have exhausted the post on your blog.
 In order to submit to Bing add your domain name to form a site map link as follows.
  Remember to replace ransbiz.com with your domain name .   
              
You can also Generate Blogger blogs site maps with Blogger Tricks site map tool. Here is how to do it:
==Type your blog URL
