    Yes you can. In google webmaster tools there is option to submit multiple sitemaps. You have already submitted the website sitemap, now you can submit blog sitemap.xml as well.

    A sitemap is more generally known as a file of the XML type which has the function of listing the URLs for any site. The protocol of the sitemap allows the webmaster to give information about the URLs to the search engines.

    Hi

    Better way is to create a separate sitemap for blog and other section too like news and article. Because we have to try to index all the web pages with the help of sitemap.

    Hope you understand.
