Step # 6: You can add a Sitemap to your account to provide Google additional information about about your blog. Google will process your Sitemap and provide information on any errors in the Sitemaps tab as well your sitemap will be downloaded everyday to index your blog fast.

Paste url of your Atom feed: For example http://www.hotamateurvoyeurs.com/atom.xml?redirect=false or http://amateur-voyeurs.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false and click on Add Web sitemap:

Note: many tuturials says to put 

http://www.hotamateurvoyeurs.com/atom.xml or 

http://amateur-voyeurs.blogspot.com/atom.xml but does not work, put 

http://www.hotamateurvoyeurs.com/atom.xml?redirect=false or 

http://amateur-voyeurs.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false

You will get confirmation:
You have added a Sitemap to http://www.hotamateurvoyeurs.com/ or http://www.amateur-voyeurs.blogspot.com. 

Suppose you have a site called abc.blogspot.com. The sitemap for this site would be:http://www.hotamateurvoyeurs.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100 or http://amateur-voyeurs.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100 meaning simply append atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=100 to your blog URL in Google Webmaster Tools > Sitemaps > Add Sitemap.

Food for the thinking mind: If you don’t include redirect=false, webmaster tools will throwwarning. If you don’t include start-index=1&max-results=100, the maximum number of URLs submitted will be shown as 26, always. Remember if you have more than 100 pages on your blogspot site, you would need to include two sitemaps one having an index starting with 1 and ending with 100(start-index=1&max-results=100) and the other having an index starting with 100 and ending with 200(start-index=100&max-results=200
