Unfortunately, it's not so simple as that. First, I was logged in as root to change the file, so I've logged out and back in in my regular account and I've quit and reopened the browser a couple of times. It's possible that the ads I'm seeing are coming from servers that aren't on the list, since I've noticed a couple of missing image icons on pages, but if that's the case, PithHelmet did a much better job blocking ads and I'll go back to that. Of course that still doesn't explain why I can still get to sites I added myself. I put in lines to match all the others that were there, i.e. "127.0.0.1 nameofsite.com" but going to nameofsite.com works just fine.
