Creating Sitemap Manually

It's prety easy to create a sitemap manually, but maybe annoying if the post is too many. Below is how i'd create a sitemap for two posts.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>http://j-smith-site.blogspot.com/2012/07/seo-tips-how-to-be-getting-indexed.html</loc>
<lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>

<url>
<loc>http://j-smith-site.blogspot.com/2012/07/convert-from-nofollow-to-dofollow-blog.html</loc>
<lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>
<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
</urlset>

<urlset>
required: Encapsulates the file and references the current protocol standard.

<url>
required.

<loc>
required: URL of the page. The URL must begin with the protocol (such as http) and end with a trailing slash if your web server requires it. This value must be less than 2,048 characters.

<lastmod>
optional: The date of last modification of the post.

<changefreq>
optional: How frequently the page is likely to change. This value provides general information to search engines and may not correlate exactly to how often they crawl the page. Valid values are: always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and never. The value "always" should be used to describe documents that change each time they are accessed. While The value "never" should be used to describe archived URLs. Crawlers may periodically crawl pages marked "never" so that they can handle unexpected changes to the page.
