The basic syntax for url_title_path is

<a href="http://{url_title_path=weblog/archives}">permalink</a>

where “weblog” refers here to a template group called “weblog” and “archives” to a template called “archives” inside the “weblog” template group. (this is a confusing example in the docs I admit)
Is {weblog_short_name} referring to a weblog or a template group?

Remember your weblogs are just containers for data, it’s the way your template groups and templates are structured that determine your paths.

I don’t think that you can add EE tags inside the url_title_path tag.  At least I haven’t been successful with it.

The way I would do what you are trying is this:

<a href="http://{site_url}{weblog_short_name}/info">More Info</a>

Result: <a href="http://www.example.com/news/info">http://www.example.com/news/info</a>

<a href="http://{site_url}{weblog_short_name}/info/{url_title}">More Info</a>

Result: <a href="http://www.example.com/news/info/vancouver_international_boat_show">http://www.example.com/news/info/vancouver_international_boat_show</a>

I wasn’t sure if you wanted the url_title in the URL or not.

thanks for all the help and good ideas!  What I did was this:

<a href="http://{weblog_short_name}/{url_title}">[Read More]</a>

I am using this since I take index.php out of the URL.  So the end result is this in th URL.
