 * Hello —
 * I have been trying to figure this out for a week and I haven’t quite gotten it.
   On the following page, only the subpages below “Writing” are navigable links.
   I want to set the menu so that “Writing” is not clickable, only the category 
   pages listed below it. I have tried changing the pointer style for “Writing” 
   to “pointer” but I cannot get it to work.
 * Can you suggest a way that I can set up this menu so that “Writing” cannot be
   clicked on, or does not appear as a link; instead it only appears as a menu header?
 * The site: [http://daniellefurfaro.com](http://daniellefurfaro.com)
 * Thank you.

 * Set up a Custom Menu: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen](http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen)
 * Then for the “Writing” menu item set the Custom Link to be just a hash character(#):

 * Thank you so much. I had tried this before, but abandoned it for something else
   I thought was simpler.
 * Actually, my client decided to go with the top page just being linked to a page
   that lists all the subcategories, so I won’t be using the # symbol in this case.
   However, when a user clicks on “Writing” at the top, all the lower links light
   up green as they also act like they are the “current” page. I have also tried
   fixing this with the different .menu .current-menu-item a selectors.
 * How can I set it so that the submenus do not turn green when the user is on the
   Writing heading page?
 * Thank you again.

 * Something like:
 *     ```
       .menu .current-menu-item ul a {
        color: inherit;
       }
       ```

 * Perfect, again. Thank you so much. You have expedited me through CSS hover headaches.
