Often described as the Splash page of 2010, huge headers are getting all the hype.

Here are some highlights from the most popular huge headers getting humongous hits.

Roman Leinwather also known as Lerwro has created an expertly crafted WordPress Blog.

Lerwro’s strong design with black and white typography overlaying intense primary colors shows us his powerful design process using a rotating header; however, it only plays once rather than continually, another smart decision of Lerwro. His code is a joy to read, check it out.
