Adding a Site Map

A site map helps the search engine trawl for all your inner pages and archives of your blog.

The first thing to do is verify that you are the owner of the blog. To do this log onto Google webmaster tools

Go to my sites and take add a site
Once added select the site and then take verify
Select meta tags and then copy the code
Go to the design of your blog and take edit html. Paste the verification code in beneath the statement.

The next thing to do is add the site map

Once again in webmaster tools select the site and then take the add sitemap option.
In empty box enter your blog name followed by rss.xml EG http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com/rss.xml
Add a sitemap to your Yahoo site Exlorer. The blog should now be verified on yahoo. Go to my sites and take the explore button and add the rss.xml as a site feed
