Very simple method    create before   content  url image png       Works in all modern browsers and IE8    Edit  Don t use this on large sites though  The  before pseudo-element is horrible in terms of performance

create   background-image  url  somewhere jpg    background-repeat  no-repeat  padding-left  30px      width of the image plus a little extra padding    display  block      may not need this  but I ve found I do        Play around with padding and possibly margin until you get your desired result   You can also play with the position of the background image   nod to Tom Wright  with  background-position  or doing a completely definition of  background   link to w3
