Adding sitemap of blogspot in google webmaster tool

After making google blogger blogspot, sometimes you want to use webmaster tools.

You can to to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools for this.
If you do not register it, go ahead to register it. You will see the following screen.

After doing "Add site" procedure, you will see when you click your blog's url name,
click crawl and you will see the sitemap.

Just click sitemap

 Then, you have to know sitemap url. It is just as below.
http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

So just copy atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 and paste it to the above ADD/Test Sitemap.

You don't need to touch or change anything else but give you following tips.

1. start-index=1
It means sitemap starts from the first writing.

2. max-results=500
up to 500th post

So, this sitemap is for 500 posts.
If you want to start from 501st post just

start-index=501

If you use max-results 1000 or 10000, there is a tendancy that search engine ignore posts more than 500.
So 500 seems enough.

If your post is more than 500, just make two sitemaps one is from 1 to 500, the other is from 501 to 1000.

Thank you.
