Hi Tom,

That's nice! It can be easily extended to also insert a plot style. The
Mathematica documentation for GridLines says that they will be drawn as
LighBlue. But they never look LightBlue to me. If one wants to change the
grid line style the following construction can be used (with the same
initial thread example):

Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"]
Needs["Graphics`Colors`"]

logstep[f_][y_] := f[10^(y)]

f[x_] := UnitStep[x - 1]

Plot[logstep[f][y], {y, -2, 3},
    Frame -> True,
    FrameTicks -> {LogScale, Automatic, None, Automatic},
    GridLines -> {{First[#], {LightBlue}} & /@
            LogScale[##] &, {First[#], {LightBlue}} & /@ LinearScale[##] &},
    Axes -> None];
