        margin-right: 15px;
    }
    td.toc-entry-col2 {
        text-align: center;
    }

  2. Once everything is done, press Save Template button present at the very top of your screen.

  3. Now Simply create a new page where you want to display your sitemap. Go to Blogger >> Pages >> New page. In the Blogger page editor, select HTML tab and paste the following code in the HTML code editor:

    <div id="bp_toc">
    </div>
    <script src='http://mybloggerlab.com/js/sitemap.js'  type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="/feeds/posts/summary?alt=json-in-script&amp;max-results=9999&amp;callback=loadtoc" type="text/javascript"></script>

  4. After pasting the above code, you can write a title of your page. If you wish you can also disable comments because you would not like people posting comments on your sitemap. Once everything is done, press Publish button.

Stay tuned, we will soon write a tutorial on it.

Love this one! Thank you. All others I've seen use labels instead of posts. I don't suppose though that there could be a way to list the blog posts, 'alphabetically'?

July 27, 2017 at 5:18 AM

You are actually giving too much credit to your site in this code.This site map will have to get the js from the source which is your site.This will make my site slower.Goodbye i will not use your code

Hi,
JS links are not considered as backlinks in terms of SEO. Nor It will be going to slow down your site. If you want to use the JS codes you can simply paste it in your template the load time will be same before/after.

Thanks
