First line quoted:

A. Common mistakes and misconceptions

Frills???!!!
Shrug…
The links we each gave to the OP are useful.

Would be faster if you cut the frills...

(And my article isn't about "Common mistakes and misconceptions", it's a thorough guide to custom menus in general!)

No no!

You make a custom menu with a non-linking top level tab:
From the whole article about Common mistakes and misconceptions (about custom menus):
http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/

❇ Submenu with non-linking top level tab
A tab that’s just a heading for a submenu, not a link, is created in the Custom Links module: type anything after “http://”, type the name in the Label field, click Add to Menu; once it’s added to the menu, click the arrow to open it, delete everything in the URL field, click Save Menu.
Note: In some theme this produces a differently looking tab; in that case replace the content of the URL field with a # instead of deleting everything.

Also here is a link to the wp.com support document about custom menus:

Then you use a custom menu to put a link to the Service category in your header.

I have the following pages:

Services
- Service 1
- Service 2
- Service 3
- Service 4

Each of these five pages is a unique page in my Dashboard, and the 4 services all have "Services" as the parent page. When you go to my blog, you can hover over "Services" and a dropdown menu appears for the four services underneath.

Here's my question: how do I make it so that someone can hover over "Services" but NOT have it be a clickable link? I don't want anything on the "Services" page - I don't even want it to be a page. I just want it to be the category under which users can access the pages that drop down.

Is this possible?
