How to submit your Blogger Sitemap to Google

Posted by Unknown

What are Sitemaps?

Sitemaps are text files containing a list of all web pages that exist on your website and are accessible to crawlers and users. These helps visitors and search engine bots to find pages on website. Sitemaps are a way to help Google indexing pages on your site which otherwise might not be discovered.

If your blog is hosted on blogspot.com (or if you are using a self-hosted version of Blogger with a custom domain) you will be surprised to find out that the default sitemap file, contains only the 26 most recent pages of your blog which in normal case should contain all URLs of a website.

Many webmaster pretend to teach others how to drive traffic to blogs or websites yet leaving out the most important factors like sitemaps. There are still other websites who keep on providing the old methods of generating a sitemap for blogger which are not any effective.

How to add a complete Sitemap for your Blogger Blog

Step 1: If you haven't done this already, sign-in to your Google Webmasters account and add your blog. For details, check this tutorial on how to add a blog to Google.

Step 2: Once your blog is added to Google, go to Webmaster Dashboard and click on your site address

Step 3: On the left panel choose Site Configuration >> Sitemaps - then click on Add sitemap.

Add each of the following codes:

/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=500

If your blog have lots of pages, add the sitemaps below:

atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1501&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=2001&max-results=500
atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=2501&max-results=500

Hide labels from Blogger

How To Remove Blogger Navbar

Posted by Unknown

WHAT IS BLOGGER NAVBAR?
Blogger has got a Navigation Bar that appears by default at the top of every Blogger-powered blog. This navigation bar can be very useful when you are blogging, but sometimes, it can get in the way. The Blogger navbar is usually hidden in most of the third party templates.

The advantages of it are the following:

- when you click on the B icon, it will take you to blogger.com
- a quick link to your Dashboard and "Sign in /Sign out" dialog
- you can easily search for other blogs
- you can "Flag Blog" (if you consider content of a blog objectionable)
- NextBlog - takes you to a random, recently-updated Blogger blog

The only disadvantage is visual. If you have customized design, Navbar just doesn't fit in.

So how we get rid of it? It is very simple. Just follow the next steps...

Removing The Blogger Navbar:

1. Login to your Blogger account, click on your blog name and navigate to Layout;

2. Look for the Navbar text and click on the Edit link as shown in the picture below:

3. When the pop-up window appears, scroll down and select Off, then click on Save button:

You're done.
