Sitemap is one of the most essential blog tool to use in your blog. It helps a lot in reducing bounce rate by providing a direct navigation link to label of a specific post, for instance the sitemap plugin we'll be adding today in this tutorial shows a list of articles on the latest published order under each categories which is very cool. The plugin is based on ajax so it will load fast and will not have effect on the performance of your blog.

Let's take the lesson together and am sure by the end of the day you will be satisfied.

Step 1: As usual login into your Blogger account and go to >> Templates >> then>>Edit HTML and click anywhere inside the html are then press CTRL+F to search for  ]]></b:skin> tag and then just above it paste the following code.

.mapasite {
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    background-color: #F8F8F8
}
.mapasite.active .mapa {
    display: block
}
.mapasite .mapa {
    display: none
}
.mapasite h2 {
    background-color: #EEE;
    color: $(primary.color);
    font-size: 15px;
    padding: 10px 20px;
    border-radius: 2px;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-weight: 700
}
.mapasite h2 .botao {
    font-size: 18px;
    line-height: 1.2em
}
.botao .fa-minus-circle {
    color: #f30
}
.mapapost {
    overflow: hidden;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    height: 70px;
    background-color: #FFF
}
.mapa {
    padding: 40px
}
.map-thumb {
    background-color: #F0F0F0;
    padding: 10px;
    display: block;
    width: 65px;
    height: 50px;
    float: left
}
.map-img {
    width: 65px;
    height: 50px;
    overflow: hidden;
    border-radius: 2px
}
.map-thumb a {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    display: block;
    transition: all .3s ease-out!important;
    -webkit-transition: all .3s ease-out!important;
    -moz-transition: all .3s ease-out!important;
    -o-transition: all .3s ease-out!important
}
.map-thumb a:hover {
    -webkit-transform: scale(1.1) rotate(-1.5deg)!important;
    -moz-transform: scale(1.1) rotate(-1.5deg)!important;
    transform: scale(1.1) rotate(-1.5deg)!important;
    transition: all .3s ease-out!important;
    -webkit-transition: all .3s ease-out!important;
    -moz-transition: all .3s ease-out!important;
    -o-transition: all .3s ease-out!important
}
.mapapost .wrp-titulo {
    padding-top: 10px;
    font-weight: 700;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 1.3em;
    padding-left: 25px;
    padding-right: 10px;
    display: block;
    overflow: hidden;
    margin-bottom: 5px
}
.mapapost .wrp-titulo a {
 
}
.mapapost .wrp-titulo a:hover {
    color: #f30;
    text-decoration: underline
}
.map-meta {
    display: block;
    float: left;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding-left: 25px;
}
.mapasite h2 .botao {
    float: right
}

Step 2: In the template, search for the </body> tag  and just above it paste the following HTML Coding.

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
var text_month = [, "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sept", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"];
var no_image_url = "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxJHaRTRpplZBJ2XQsGWfV632wWX8TwMs3mI7pGENpheStBPpO8eUZXV9bx7qjLfA4RW_0A8_xTIcu8li7iPRu4yE4Nm8W09Ho_QezLI-nnlaZ6WttDlc_wvN-pOuOE2SsKD-7HVENkxM/s1600-r/nth.png";
var static_page_text = $.trim($('.static_page .post-body').text());
if (static_page_text === "[sitemap]") {
var postbody = $('.static_page .post-body');
$.ajax({
url: "/feeds/posts/default?alt=json-in-script",
type: 'get',
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(dataZ) {
var blogLabels = [];
for (var t = 0; t < dataZ.feed.category.length; t++) {
blogLabels.push(dataZ.feed.category[t].term)
}
var blogLabels = blogLabels.join('/');
postbody.html('<div class="siteLabel"></div>');
$('.static_page .post-body .siteLabel').text(blogLabels);
var splabel = $(".siteLabel").text().split("/");
var splabels = "";
for (get = 0; get < splabel.length; ++get) {
splabels += "<span>" + splabel[get] + "</span>"
}
$(".siteLabel").html(splabels);
$('.siteLabel span').each(function() {
var mapLabel = $(this);
var mapLabel_text = $(this).text();
$.ajax({
url: "/feeds/posts/default/-/" + mapLabel_text + "?alt=json-in-script",
type: 'get',
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(data) {
var posturl = "";
var htmlcode = '<div class="mapa">';
for (var i = 0; i < data.feed.entry.length; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < data.feed.entry[i].link.length; j++) {
if (data.feed.entry[i].link[j].rel == "alternate") {
posturl = data.feed.entry[i].link[j].href;
break
}
}
var posttitle = data.feed.entry[i].title.$t;
var author = data.feed.entry[i].author[0].name.$t;
var get_date = data.feed.entry[i].published.$t,
year = get_date.substring(0, 4),
month = get_date.substring(5, 7),
day = get_date.substring(8, 10),
date = text_month[parseInt(month, 10)] + ' ' + day + ', ' + year;
var tag = data.feed.entry[i].category[0].term;
var content = data.feed.entry[i].content.$t;
var $content = $('<div>').html(content);
var src2 = data.feed.entry[i].media$thumbnail.url;
htmlcode += '<div class="mapapost"><div class="map-thumb"><div class="map-img"><a href="' + posturl + '" style="background:url(' + src2 + ') no-repeat center center;background-size: cover"/></div></div><h3 class="wrp-titulo"><a href="' + posturl + '">' + posttitle + '</a></h3><div class="map-meta"><span class="p-author">' + author + '</span><span class="p-date">' + date + '</span></div></div>'
}
htmlcode += '</div>';
mapLabel.replaceWith('<div class="mapasite"><h2>' + mapLabel_text + '<span class="botao"><i class="fa fa-plus-circle"></i></span></h2>' + htmlcode + '</div>');
$(document).on('click', '.mapasite h2', function() {
$(this).parent('.mapasite').addClass('active');
$(this).find('.botao .fa').removeClass('fa-plus-circle').addClass('fa-minus-circle');
});
$(document).on('click', '.mapasite.active h2', function() {
$(this).parent('.mapasite').removeClass('active');
$(this).find('.botao .fa').addClass('fa-plus-circle').removeClass('fa-minus-circle');
});}});});}});}
//]]></script>
