How to submit a sitemap.xml for your blogspot blog to Google

So i was wondering how you would submit your sitemap.xml for your blogspot site when you can't upload one to the root dir. And that is ok because these guys offer a great little service for all.

And it can be done very simply if you have another site that you have previously (or if you do this in the future) Google Verified. These are sites you have listed in your Google WebmasterTools. We can upload the map to our blogger blog site to any of our verified sites in the list. Choose one you can upload files to.

So go ahead and create your site map for your blog but save it as a unique filename like MyBlogOneSitemap.xml (or if you have more than one blog site), MyBlogTwoSitemap.xml etc.

Then upload the map(s) to the verified site you selected that appears in your WebmasterTools. Browse to sitemaps (you'll find it under site configuration) and use the Submit a Sitemap to upload your blog sitemap.

As long as google has verified you as the site owner, you can load as many sitemaps as you like from the one location. You can even combine them into one site map if you like. Just remember to link them different urls correctly if you choose this path.
