1. For a blog without a custom domain (For example https://www.vision4u.blogspot.com)
2. For a blog with a custom domain (For example https://www.vision4u.in)
For a blog without a custom domain
First method
https://vision4u.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml
Second method
Sitemap 1. https://vision4u.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
Sitemap 2. https://vision4u.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=1000
For a blog with a custom domain
First method
Sitemap: https://vision4u.blogspot.com/sitemap.xml

Note: Custom domain sitemap has a limit of 500 posts, so we can submit two or more sitemaps (each has 500 posts) if you have more than 500 posts.
