WordPress.org

Will this overwrite my existing .htaccess additions?

No, this plugin will only append its own rules to the file, and will not remove existing content.

I've messed something up and now I've blocked myself out of my blog, help!

Simply edit the .htaccess file manually via FTP or directly on the server, and remove everything between the "# start wp-block" and "# end wp-block" code blocks.
