Adding Categories to Your Blogger Account

I was wondering how I could categorize my blog material on blogger as there is so much content and not alot of ways to sift through this content to find what you want.

I then found a blog that teaches you how to put categories into your blog via simply signing up for del.icio.us.

This is the categories adding post here at http://blogger-tricks.blogspot.com/

Blogger Issue using Google Webmaster Tools to Setup a Sitemap

For those of you who are bloggers and use Blogger.com as your main blogging software and use Googles Webmaster Tools, may have realised that setting up a Sitemap for the use of the Googlebots that crawl your sites is difficult.

It is difficult because in order to submit a Sitemap, the sitemap must be at the root of the webpage

ie

for me it would be

http://askyourblog.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml

However it is impossible to do this when you do not have access to this root directory.

Fear not for I have found a blogger who has a solution to this problem. The solution is to use the Atom feeds that already exist with every blogger account.

See the solution to this problem here

Its amazing Google do not have any information on this considering they own Blogger and their Webmaster tools. If your reading this anyone from Google, I wonder if it could be sorted out as people who use Wordpress seem to be able to get their sites mapped better on the Google search engine than users of Blogger.
