I blocked a site using terminal, with the code : sudo nano /ect/hosts
and proceeded with 127.0.0.1 [website name] and so on....
I want to unblock that site...and I tried to by deleting the "file" in Terminal....but I think I messed something up and now I am completely lost.
Please help.

Roll in the file from your Time Machine backups, and reboot.
Then delete (just) the line of text that was added into the file, using the nano editor.
If you don’t have backups, you’ll want to recreate the hosts file.
