There is nothing we can do for you here. If you are talking about a wordpress.COM blog, then use this to contact them http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
This forum is NOT wordpress.COM. If you have copyright concerns then contact the web-host of the domain that is in violation. Something like http://www.whois.net/ might help figure out what host to contact.

It’s one thing that the person does not attribute the story to you and another that he/she is trying to make monetary gains from your story by surrounding it in advertisements.
You have the evidence because the story images from his site are being pulled from your blogspot account. Just ‘rightclick>view in new window’ the image and this will give you the address. Like others have said, take evidence to the hosting provider.
I’ve been thinking about this and I know I’m going to be PO’d when this happens to me but it might not be worth the effort of the whole process. It could take a lot of time and effort to contact the hosting service, prove you own the stuff, and get them to do something about it. They probably would only end up sending the person a notice to remove the content; which would be good but it would be even better if the person lost their hosting account. I’d definitely send the hosting company an email and see how much effort this is going to entail.
It’s too bad people have to copy things word-for-word and claim it as their own. The least they could do is give credit to the author.
One thing you could do is take down and re-upload your images with a watermark with your blog address, that should break the link and if they have not copied the images mess them up.
Always add a watermark to your images they become of less use to a theif.
But then where did you source the images, they might be subject to copyright as well?

You can also leave a comment for them and that normally will suffice. Unfortunately you have to wait for them to react or respond to your email before you have any legal recourse.
