As many of us know that we doesn’t even need
to submit blogger (blogspot) sitemap to Google as it is submitted by default but if you go to webmaster tools and look for
submitted sitemaps it will show none. Blogger (Blogspot) default sitemap is
configured to show the most recent post i.e 26 or you have to manually fetch
them and submit for indexing to get showed in Google’s result but this sitemap
which you are going to create contains all your site pages just submit to
google and you are done.

the sitemap generator and generate your
full sitemap by typing your full blogger (blogspot) address including http://.
