Hi Kevin,

The link doesn't work for me so I can't see your html, but if I was to put an icon inside a h3, I would use background image like below. My icon image is 24 x 24px.

  h3              { text-indent:30px; line-height:30px; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:left center; }
  .icon-circle    { background-image:url(icon-circle.png); }

  <h3 class="icon-circle">Example heading!</h3>
