Response to Beginner developerI wants whiter whites and blacker blacks.

Many of the comments so far have focused on the negative development and paper exposure and development. Don't overlook the proper exposure of the film (I may have missed some references to this, but the long thread is difficult to keep up with.). If the film has been properly exposed (using the Zone system, or some less rigid, more practical variation) you will find that you have a lot more room for slight errors in the rest of the process. Therefore, I might suggest trouble shooting your photo system from the very beginning.
