What I want is to create a new date and compare against that. Something like if post.date > '2016-01-01' in my example above. How do I create a new date such as that one?

+ [2016-09-14T01:15:19Z] steveoh hello folks. i'm trying to use a plugin for jekyll for the first time and I'm having a host of issues. https://github.com/agrc/agrc.github.io/blob/enviroments/_plugins/load_envs.rb is the plugin. I'm trying to read env variables from netlify.com. They are always empty.
