Sitemap shows all posts of a blog in one page. It is very important for a blog as it contains all post and visitors can find posts easily. Sitemap is categorized on the basis of labels/categories so it indexes all posts under a specific label which helps users to find what they are searching for. Since blogger doesn't have any built-in sitemap therefore it can be added in a blog only from other blogs. Sitemap is important for seo also because once your blog's sitemap is indexed by search engines, visitors could find it easily and reach posts which increases your blog traffic too and in other words it is a navigation page which makes your blog's navigation more clear. I have previously shared a simple sitemap for blogger which shows posts in a list form you can see it here.
This sitemap also works as the simple sitemap but it has a cool and stylish look! You can take a look at my blog's sitemap. Moreover you can set a 404 page error and redirect visitors to your sitemap so if a visitor could not find a post which he is looking for he could read another post or find the post in sitemap which he is searching for.
