sitemap automatically with simple URL as /Sitemap.xml only. Now blogger will
replace old sitemap URL like /atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
to simple URL. Now you don't need to use atom URL if you are using BlogSpot
domain name. Just write /Sitemap.xml and submit it to Google like below:
