How do I go about updating an entry that has already been accepted by the guide. Do I just update the user page for it, or something far more complicated?

Unfortunately, you can not simply update an approved Guide entry yourself. The update must go through the editing process so a sub-editor can approve the changes.
You will find there are two versions of your entry. The one in the Most Recent Guide Entries section of your userpage can be edited, but this will not change the way the approved entry appears in the Guide. The copy in the Most Recent Edited Guide Entries section of your user page is the official version in the Guide, but you can not edit it.
Go ahead and edit the version in your Most Recent Guide Entries section. Then go to the Peer Review page and submit your changes. ( http://www.h2g2.com/PeerReview ) I recommend including the entry numbers of both the approved entry and your revised entry.
Here is an example.
