Hey Vigilante, what happened to your post?
Yes, jumpers are perfectly acceptable. Neatness is only a minor consideration; do what you need to do to make it sound good.

I deleted it because I found where it was already answered in your first post :P

New question though: what about sharing pads between components? Can I stick two leads in one hole?

Yes. Or mount some parts on the backside if that's easier. My intent was to not over-constrain you guys. You can glue on extra parts, add jumpers, put parts between any two pads, etc. Just don't try to build a Boss DF-2 Feedbacker on a Muffin board and you'll be fine.

Here's an example of some mods that are perfectly acceptable. I put those resistors on the back side because there are other parts on the front side using the same pads. Yes, I'm going to clean the board.

Anytime one of questions is answered I will proceed to come up with a stupider one:

Are we allowed to tack SMD parts to the bottom? It feels like cheating, is it cheating?
 
Yes. What the Hell are you building? An actual Marshall amp in a box? Whatever it is, and I think I speak for everyone here, we can't wait to see it.
