The smart way would be to instead of having <img style="blablabla"> use it as a sub-class to your
maintextside {background:#454545; font-weight:bold; font-family:verdana; color: #ffffff;}
like this
.maintextside {background:#454545; font-weight:bold; font-family:verdana; color: #ffffff;}
.maintextside img {vertical-align:middle;}
or the even more fancy way/harder way of doing it :
.maintextside {background:#454545; font-weight:bold; font-family:verdana; color: #ffffff;}
.maintextside img {padding-left:5px;background:url("img/image.gif") 0 50% no-repeat;color:#000;}
It's all up to how you want it all to be presented, really !
nice lil tip
