As we all know,a Sitemap page is not available in Blogger. Since my blogging, blogger has not been offering any sitemap widget for its platform that’s why to provide complete structure of our blog content, we require this feature to add on our blog. I hope this will help you to create a page which show the better navigation of all the post for user experience.
Why do we need Sitemap on our blog
Sitemap will provide you, list of posts which created earlier that are grouped together all posts titles and page titles like index. So that visitor can understand and read the latest and previous in the sitemap page. So creating it very import for every blogger, without it, user can’t find past data. By providing this feature, blogger Blogspot page views will be increased. Now let us continue creating it.
Benefits of a Sitemap to users
The user benefits from sitemap because they can go and if they can’t find a page of your site through the main navigation they can actually, go and look at your sitemap and possibly find the information there. If you have a large site, using a sitemap can actually break down your site into smaller sections by categories or alphabetically, labels, authors, etc. So, creating a sitemap for your site is very beneficial for your users in helping them to find information on your site.
Step by step method for creating a static sitemap page in blogger:
1. Login to your Blogger account, then go to Pages and create a new page with title “Sitemap”.
2. Switch to HTML mode.
3. Here we have two styles for sitemap page. choose anyone and copy the code below.
