fannish etiquette question

[ratcreature]

With the proliferation of Tumblr, what do you do if another fan just reblogs your pictures? I understand that one of the reasons people like Tumblr is because it is so easy to just post a bunch of pictures and video and such, but I do have a notice that I don't want my art distributed without permission, because I'd rather like traffic to come to my site than some random Tumblr or other site. (This seems to be an ongoing problem for me of late.) Am I just behind on the new fannish normal?

I get the feeling that's just the way things are going. :/

What's your Tumblr? (I promise not to reblog you?)

I don't use Tumblr. I have an account I got in 2007 that I posted one rat picture to, and then I was confused about the purpose and nobody I knew was using it, so I gave it up. My stuff got tumblred(?) from my website.

I have a fanart wordpress blog, and they also have a reblog feature (recently introduced), but my posts there only have thumbnail previews and links, so if someone reblogged those in the WP way that would still get me hits on my own website. I also have a dA with preview embedding enabled, so people who want to can put a dA preview in any of their posts without them uploading my pictures anywhere. All my accounts (including the defunct Tumblr) are under "ratcreature".
