Put up a bitcoin address, because people can send you bitcoins.

You should specify why you want to accept bitcoins.  Knowing what you're using them for could help in the implementation.

Pretty much this. You can overcomplicate it with a 'payment gateway', but know that every extra click on the way reduces the chance of a donation.

If it's a WordPress blog I would suggest this. If it's a shop, I would suggest BitPay or another merchant to minimize the risk of volatility.

Because leaving the page to make a payment is so 2012.

I like WooCommerce + Bitpay plugin. This is what we just used to add acceptance of BTC last week at:

http://synergeticpress.com

Why?

  • Bitpay lets you instantly turn sales into 100% USD or 50%/50% USD/BTC, etc. - not bad for a  1% fee.
  • Bitpay payments and notifications are sometimes confusing/messed up and woocommerce gives you a good server-side backup of each order
  • It just works. And you're using the two biggest players in the field (woo for ecommerce, bitpay for BTC) so there's a decent chance neither half of the solution will go belly-up in just a few months.

Also my current set-up. I've got nothing but praise for BitPay.

Any re-occuring billing options?

I noticed that coinbase has one, however, coinbase is currently only available for US.  I'm looking for an international option.
