What do you mean by remoting?

Like if i wanted to put the sign in form on another html file  like with php for example. i could just include it like  <?php include("sign_in.php"); ?>

into what ever php doc i have and it would put it there.   how to go about that here so i can have the absolute login form on my new start page?

if you see how my page is now. the sign in part is completely coppied from my real sign in page here http://www.buddylist.co/sign-in/. but doesn't log you in.

I just want to be able to put that floatbox sign in form on my start page. here  http://www.buddylist.co/

No need to include the page, just insert this component in the template of your start page

{component class="BASE_CMP_SignIn" ajax="1"}

but I still don't understand what you're trying to achieve, the page you have not, is similar to http://www.buddylist.co/sign-in/

If you want to make sign-in page as the first page of your website, just make your website not visible for guests here: http://www.buddylist.co/admin/permissions

i want Google to be able to crawl

if i do that it will limit them to that one page.

Do you know what a template is?

a theme?  

/ow_plugins/startpage/static/themes/2column_wlogin/join.html    is the only file im working with to edit on this  and it also has a css file

Josh, 

as I understood you were trying to accomplish this via start page pro plugin, every plugin has several folders classes, components, controllers, views

Views folder usually has two folders: components and controllers 

components folder contains template files

You should insert this component there as {component class="BASE_CMP_SignIn" ajax="1"} is a smarty component

in here  ow_plugins/startpage/views/components   ?  what file should i look for to put that in?

I don't know,  start page pro is a third-party plugin. Contact plugin developer to find out. 

k   Thanx
