How To Make Sitemap Page In Blogger

Just recently I have read an email from Google Adsense that one their main criteria of a certain blog to be approved as their ad publisher is to have a sitemap page in my blog, so I was researching and keep on experimenting on how to do it. But of course not only for that reason why should  I have that page in my blog but to let my readers to have an easy navigation and provide meaningful experiences on all my posts published.  Having a sitemap page also increases your page rank and consequently a bigger chance to boost organic traffic. In this tutorial I will show on how to make  a sitemap page that will automatically update each time you will create and publish a post(s) and the best  thing is that  you will not edit your blogger template anymore. Please take a look first in my blogger sitemap for a live demo.

Create A Sitemap Page  In Blogger/Blogspot

Step 1. Go to Blogger Dashboard
Step 2. Click New Pages >> New page >> Blank Page
Step 3. Switch the Blogger Page Editor page in the HTML mode
Step 4. Then copy the code below and paste it in your Blogger Post Editor page ( in Step 3)

<script>
var numposts = 1000;
var showpostdate = true;
var showpostsummary = false;
var numchars = 200;
</script>
<script>
function rp(json) {
document.write('<ul>');
for (var i = 0; i < numposts; i++) {
document.write('<li>');
var entry = json.feed.entry[i];
var posttitle = entry.title.$t;
var posturl;
if (i == json.feed.entry.length) break;
for (var k = 0; k < entry.link.length; k++) {
if (entry.link[k].rel == 'alternate') {
posturl = entry.link[k].href;
break;
}
}
posttitle = posttitle.link(posturl);
var readmorelink = "(more)";
readmorelink = readmorelink.link(posturl);
var postdate = entry.published.$t;
var cdyear = postdate.substring(0,4);
var cdmonth = postdate.substring(5,7);
var cdday = postdate.substring(8,10);
var monthnames = new Array();
monthnames[1] = "Jan";
monthnames[2] = "Feb";
monthnames[3] = "Mar";
monthnames[4] = "Apr";
monthnames[5] = "May";
monthnames[6] = "Jun";
monthnames[7] = "Jul";
monthnames[8] = "Aug";
monthnames[9] = "Sep";
monthnames[10] = "Oct";
monthnames[11] = "Nov";
monthnames[12] = "Dec";
if ("content" in entry) {
var postcontent = entry.content.$t;
} else if ("summary" in entry) {
var postcontent = entry.summary.$t;
} else
var postcontent = "";
var re = /<S[^>]*>/g;
postcontent = postcontent.replace(re, "");
document.write(posttitle);
if (showpostdate == true) document.write(' ' + cdyear + ' - ' + monthnames[parseInt(cdmonth,10)] + ' ' + cdday);
if (showpostsummary == true) {
if (postcontent.length < numchars) {
document.write(postcontent);
} else {
postcontent = postcontent.substring(0, numchars);
var quoteEnd = postcontent.lastIndexOf(" ");
postcontent = postcontent.substring(0,quoteEnd);
document.write(postcontent + '...' + readmorelink);
}
}
document.write('</li>');
}
document.write('</ul>');
}
</script>

<script src="http://www.yourwebsitenamehere.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=1000&orderby=published&alt=json-in-script&callback=rp"></script>

Customization:
1.  If you have published more than 1000 posts in your blog/site just change the number (1000 )  depending on your preferences.
2. If you want to hide the post date beside the post title change the text (true) with false.
3. The most important thing is you must replace the line (www.yourwebsitenamehere.com) with the URL of  your blog/site to make this trick work on your blog.

Step 5. Click the  Publish  button and get the url and paste it in your  in your sidebar or any part of your blog's body.
You are now done making a list of all posts in just a single page.
