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.

Good useful information. Thanks
Thank you, for nice post.
I think the best way is use this url (as Anthony wrote):
http://blogname.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100
And when redirect is false then it works also with feedburner.

Thanks to you ,
killer post, the “feeds/posts/full” worked thank you!!!
Thanks for the tutorial,
I believe the new blogger allows sync with webmaster tools where you don’t have to go through the whole meta process.
Enable webmaster tools from your dashboard.
I’m not sure I follow, I don’t see where Google automatically picks up the sitemap for any of my blogs. What “dashboard” are you referencing?
Thanks for the great tip. I don’t realise we can submit sitemap for blogger.com as well.
