How to Create and Edit a Responsive Sitemap

Nice to meet again mm lovers, this time I will give a tutorial on how to create a sitemap and edit its appearance to match what we want. First, let's learn what a sitemap is.

A sitemap can also be called a list of articles or posts on a website which is usually just a url created directly by google robot.txt for blogger theme users like the picture below, you can see the sitemap of your own website by writing the URL as follows (https: // your blog name /sitemap.xml ) .

As you can see, the sitemap is actually just a collection of urls that intends to make it easier for the Google search engine to crawl our website so that the articles that we create can immediately appear on the Google search engine in a few moments.

For more details about crawling, please also read this article

a simple way to make posts appear in google search

So even if we do not create a sitemap, the sitemap will be automatically created as shown above. But we can change the normal appearance of a sitemap with a script so that it becomes a table of contents that can make it easier for readers to find the articles they want and are always up to date and have an attractive appearance.

Alright, let's start with the first one, which is to prepare the page where we write the sitemap script

Create

First of all, we click Pages on the left side (BOX1), then we click New Pages (BOX2), wait a while until a display appears like creating a new article, but different from creating an article on the page there is no label option and the date of article creation

If the edit page is already open, then we first change the compose view to html(Box1) view as shown below, then we write it in the title of our page in title(box2)

If it is ready, then we copy the script below and paste it into the page we created earlier

If you have pasted the code above then we can publish this page.

Customize

Alright, if you have successfully published your sitemap and it is working correctly then let's edit the existing code so that it can adjust the appearance as we want.

Well let's get started, first of all you make sure that you have prepared all the code that I gave so that the order of the code is the same and will not confuse you.

Like the picture below, which has 4 red boxes, this time I will teach you how to change the colors in order.

Ok let's start from the color table on the left(Box1)

You have to look for this color code #2f77bd there will be two color codes like this but what we will change is the code in line 2, you change the color code according to the color you want, if I will use this color code #193498 so it looks like unde

Next we change the color of the button if it is selected by the mouse (Box2) by looking for this color code #4086E0 which is in Line 10 with the color code that we want so it looks like the display below

Next we change the color that divides between the two tables (Box 3) by looking for the color code #1E84BC in Line 13 and replacing it with the color we want so that it looks like the image below

For the last one we shift to the table on the right and we will change a different color from the article table like the first image above (Box4) by looking for the code #66A9FF in Line 23 with the code we want so it looks like the image below
