Sitemap Generator Tool
Sitemap Code Description
To generate a sitemap for a Blogger blog, you can manually create an XML sitemap using Blogger's features and some basic scripting.
Blogger does not support server-side scripting, so we'll use a combination of Blogger's capabilities and JavaScript to create a sitemap.
Steps to Create a Sitemap for Blogger
Create a Static Sitemap Page
Blogger does not support automatic sitemap generation, but you can create a static XML sitemap and link it to your blog.
Manually Add Links
You'll need to add the URLs of your blog posts manually. Blogger's default sitemap URL is `https://yourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml`.
Example Sitemap Generator Code
Here’s a simple script to create a static XML sitemap that you can use for your Blogger blog:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Sitemap Generator for Blogger</title>
<style>
body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; padding: 20px; }
label { display: block; margin: 10px 0 5px; }
input, textarea { width: 100%; padding: 8px; margin-bottom: 10px; }
button { padding: 10px 20px; background-color: #007BFF; color: white; border: none; cursor: pointer; }
button:hover { background-color: #0056b3; }
.result { margin-top: 20px; }
.result pre { white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Sitemap Generator for Blogger</h1>
<form id="sitemapForm">
<label for="baseURL">Base URL (e.g., https://yourblog.blogspot.com):</label>
<input type="text" id="baseURL" required>
<label for="urls">Blog Post URLs (one per line):</label>
<textarea id="urls" rows="10" required></textarea>
<button type="button" onclick="generateSitemap()">Generate Sitemap</button>
</form>
<div class="result" id="result"></div>
<script>
function generateSitemap() {
const baseURL = document.getElementById('baseURL').value.trim();
const urls = document.getElementById('urls').value.trim().split('\n').map(url => url.trim()).filter(url => url.length > 0);
if (!baseURL || !urls.length) {
alert("Please provide a valid base URL and at least one URL.");
return;
}
let sitemapXML = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n`;
sitemapXML += `<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">\n`;
urls.forEach(url => {
sitemapXML += ` <url>\n`;
sitemapXML += ` <loc>${baseURL}/${url}</loc>\n`;
sitemapXML += ` <lastmod>${new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0]}</lastmod>\n`;
sitemapXML += ` <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>\n`;
sitemapXML += ` <priority>0.5</priority>\n`;
sitemapXML += ` </url>\n`;
});
sitemapXML += `</urlset>`;
document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = `<h2>Generated Sitemap</h2><pre>${sitemapXML}</pre>`;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
