Previously in my tutorial of how to add sitemap to Google webmaster to inform Google crawler of the new pages for faster indexing. However I found out recently that the sitemap I used only submitted much fewer URLs that my blog actually have. Actually, it submitted only the most recent posting. That is bad as the sitemap is missing the older posts and may never indexed by the Google crawler. So, I did some research again and here is alternative way of obtaining our sitemap for Blogger sites.
You could use this sitemap generator to automatically generate sitemap for your site. What it does actually is breaking down the your site total pages into smaller sitemaps as in the example below,
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=500
After you obtain these sitemap, submit them to Google Webmaster manually. Now notice the URLs submitted by these sitemaps are all the posts your site has. And that's what we want, Yes!
The sitemap generator also allow you to submit the generated sitemap to yahoo and bing automatically by clicking the sitemap link generated. Easy?
