Step # 2: Now you need to verify your ownership of blog to view detailed statistics. Click on verify link. Google offers two methods of verification. You can either upload an HTML file with a name we specify (which is not possible with Google Blogger account), or you can add a META tag to your site's index file. Adding META tag via template code is possible so just select Add a META tag from drop down menu:

Step # 6: You can add a Sitemap to your account to provide Google additional information about about your blog. Google will process your Sitemap and provide information on any errors in the Sitemaps tab as well your sitemap will be downloaded everyday to index your blog fast.
Select type as : Add General Web sitemap
Now you need to add Atom 0.3 feeds. Generally, you would use this format only if your site already has a syndication feed and this is the only way to add sitemap to your blogger.com account.
Paste url of your Atom feed: For example http://cyberciti.blogspot.com/atom.xml and click on Add Web sitemap:
Update: If you are using a new blogger beta system, use http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/full as a feed url.

You will get confirmation:
You have added a Sitemap to http://cyberciti.blogspot.com/. Reports may take several hours to update. Thank you for your patience!
And you are done and your blog will be now index very fast (depend upon your posting and content).
You can submit also a sitemap of the type rss.xml .What is the difference between atom and rss ?

Useful tutorial, I had no idea how could I add a sitemap to blogger blogs. Thanks for sharing this tutorial
great information from great blog, thanks :)
i created sitemap.xml file from online site map generator.how can i submit this in google.plz give me tha link
I had to change my domain name and had to reconfigure site on Webmaster and the site map examples above only allows the latest 26 URL links on your blogger blog; i.e 26 posts. What happens when you have a blog with almost 200 published posts.
Thanks for posting this useful information. I have a little confusion about the URL which we need to post for adding site in google webmaster tools.
Is it
http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/full

http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
