Removed icon appearing on left of each post title

Removed
<span class='post_title_icon'/>
from
<h2 class='post-title entry-title'><span class='post_title_icon'/>
    <b:if cond='data:post.link'>
       <a expr:href='data:post.link'><data:post.title/></a>
     <b:else/>

Also removed it's source to make the template lightweight:
.mainbpart article h2 .post_title_icon {
    background-image: url("http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gjGlLBw4NBg/UvMNT08edaI/AAAAAAAAKso/1GUeQRLDaXo/s1600/post_title_icon.png");
    background-position: left;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    display:inline-table;
    width:57px;
    height:28px;
    position:relative;
    margin-left:-75px;
    margin-right:20px;
}
