   depend on ur theme try add the below code inside your theme css stylesheet.

   assume that your sidebars id is #sidebar.
   

   .txt-to-image-replacement,
   #sidebar a.rsswidget{
   position: relative;
   text-indent: -999em;
   overflow:hidden;
   display:block }
   
   #sidebar a.rsswidget img{display:none}} /* hide the default icons */
   
   #sidebar a.rsswidget{ background-image:url(http://s.wordpress.org/style/images/feedicon10.png);
    width:10px;
    height:10px;
    padding:0pt;margin:0pt}

   you'll need to set the background-image "url", width & height .

   Would I be able to add the image in this code?

   <br /><li><a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('Syndicate this site using RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('<abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr>'); ?></a></li>

   Or at least apply a CSS style to it?

   Okay so I found the tutorial to do this in the Codex, but I'm still having some issues turning the other links on the page into images. I tried using the same method, but because they're wp_ instead of just the bloginfo the change isn't taking. (it just adds the image below instead of turning it into the link). What do I need to do? (do I need to add the image to the wp_login/wp_logout file?)
