Default not using the WYSIWYG editor?

I'm trying to duplicate
http://fixmysite.us/island_bangles/about.php
using the x-cart thing to create static pages
so I created an empty page and in its content section, i went to the source and simply pasted in..

Thanks to my customers who have supported my jewelry making over the years! Enjoy your visit and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Making jewelry makes me happy. I hope my jewelry makes you happy too.
</p><p>
Each piece of jewelry is designed and created by me. Trained in fine arts, jewelry and graphic design, I strive to combine classic design principles with new ways of approaching and creating body adornments. I am inspired by elements from nature, images from myth and legend and jewelry of bygone eras. My jewelry features a large cast of characters - dragonflies, goddesses, mermaids, lizards and things that grow.I like to think of my jewelry as "modern antiques" - fresh and unusual, but with a timeless quality, as if they might have been discovered again from some past time.
</p><p>
I began designing jewelry as a jewelry and art major at the University of Illinois. I left my jewelry making behind as I joined the working world and went on to have a successful career as an award-winning graphic designer. After moving to southern California, I came back to my "roots" and began designing jewelry again and Island Bangles was born. Several of my beading designs have been featured in leading beading magazines and books, such as Beadstyle Magazine, Beadstyle books and Beadstar Magazine. I am a featured artist in the 2011 issue of Bead Star Magazine, placing first in two of the eight design categories.
</p><p>
I sell my handmade jewelry at select arts and crafts shows in southern California, Mary Buckman Studio in the Ray Street gallery district of San Diego, the Coronado Museum Store and Art & Soul Gallery in Encinitas, California.

<aside>
{php} include('island_bangles/inc/aside.php'); {/php}
</aside>

and this is the result,
http://fixmysite.us/island_bangles/xcart/pages.php?pageid=7
I notice that lots of <p>...</p>are inserted and the smart tag for php wasn't recognized. Can you see what i did wrong, and is there a way to FTP the page and bypass the WYSIWYG editor for building pages?
the pages content can be found here,
