To start off you will need to go to the bing webmaster tools here and then add your website after which you will need to verify it.
How to verify your website to index on bing?
When you enter your website in the big webmaster tools the first message you get will be to verify the website as shown in the screenshot below
On your blogspot blog on the dashboard click on edit html in the template section as shown in the screenshot below
You then need to add the<meta> tag containing the authentication code to the <head> section of the page so just search for the tag <head> and below it just input the code you can see on your verification screen on bing webmaster tools(You will see the code once you click verify now).The one below is just an example of the code.
Below is a full example in case you are confused
<html>
<head>
<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="E580EA75519571B978D3FC6446D4B553" />
<title>Your SEO optimized title</title>
</head>
<body>
page contents
</body>
</html>
Once you are done with the verification the other steps you need to follow are very Similar to how you added the sitemap for google all you need to do is once you are in your bing webmaster tools dashboard click on submit sitemap and follow your blog address with the following in case your blog has below 500posts. - atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
For blogs with posts more than 500 but less than 1000 you can submit the following
For Blogs with posts more than 500 but less than 1000
- atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
- atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
For Blogs with posts more than 1000 but less than 1500
- atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
- atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500
- atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1001&max-results=500
If your blog address is http://myblogaddress.blogspot.com follow it with one of the above based on the number of posts you have.For example for less than 500 posts http://myblogaddress.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500
Once your done with it the Bing bots will come to your blog and index all the pages.Bing has a reputation of being a bit slow so i would advise you to give it about 3 weeks and check the status once again.
PS:Incase you have already submitted your blog sitemap to google use the same sitemap for bing as well
