Take the following steps:
1. Open google webmaster tools. and specify your web adress.

2.Click on verify. Google will give you 2 options. First one is "Add Meta tag code". Here, one meta tag will be given to you. It looks like:
meta name="verify-v1" content="HbOqDCGIANG04BBgi580QS7lzOiX6S7Bzl5GRT4h118=" . Copy this code.

3. Now open your http://yourname.blogspot.com and sign in > Customize> Layout> HTML code of blog.

4. Just below head tag paste the above link.

5. Now click on "Save template"

6.Go to "webmaster tools" from where u got meta tag, click on "verify" the site.
Submitting site maps:
