How I Created An Awesome Sitemap For My Blog (with pictures)

A blog sitemap is one of the top 5 blog pages every outstanding blogs should have. It shows the road to your readers for effective navigation.

If you look at the navigation link list I added at the footer of my blog, you would see the link to the sitemap. Click on this link and see how exactly a sitemap can look like.

Without wasting much time, I will take you step-by-step on how you can create this awesome sitemap for your blogger blog too.

Step 1 >>> Login to your blogger dashboard, and go to "pages"

Step 2 >>> Click on "New page" as seen below:

Step 3 >>> Give the page a name ( Sitemap)

Step 4 >>> Switch to "html" writing version. Press ctrl +A and delete everything you find in the box. Then, paste the following codes into the blank page

<style>
p.labels a{color: #242424; text-transform: uppercase;font-size: 15px;}
a.post-titles {color: #641E16;}
ol li{list-style-type:decimal;line-height:25px;}
</style>
