[Hrgeeks] Question on a .htaccess file

[Anthony Gartner]

i am trying to block a specific ip from even seing my site.  was surfing around and found that the .htaccess might be the simplest way

my exiting file looks like 

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

can i just make it
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
deny 213.5.71.12        <---- the change made 

# END WordPress

Will that work to block access

Thank you in advance
