Damn right you should be upset. Altough you don't have copyright/ownership of the image, you do have it over yiour words, and that's *your* artistic copyright. I would be livid if someone stole my writing (hence why I put it in Friends only blogs and stuff because at least then I can track what's going on) but the problem is on the Internet, nothing is safe. I guess you have to accept there are some pretty unscruplous people in the world who will happily steal other's work because they're just not xclever enough or are too lazy to do it themselves. There isn't much you can realistically do about it (I don't know whether you can contact the site etc, or if it's even worth it) but you could always edit any future posts to say 'this has been stolen' if it happens again. Oh, and you could come up with a few false stories just to see if the theives are stupid enough to not do their research as well ;)
