I am working on a project where they want to have individual Blogs for each of their customers. As far as I'm aware, I would have to create a separate Content Type (blog) for each customer. Also, each Customer Blog has to be private - only the admin and themselves can view their blog.

Is this possible/practical to have ~500 individual Content Types as blogs? Is there a better way to handle this?

Thanks for any insight or information on this.

Actually, I see that Drupal handle multiple blogs out-of-the-box so individual content type shouldn't be necessary. I will still need to address the issue of privacy/security for each users blogs. What will be the best way to make each user's blog readable only to themselves and a designated admin?

You can create user groups via admin > users and then assign required access/permissions to such groups.

What you seem to need is node privacy. I would look at the following modules first:

node_privacy_byrole
taxonomy_access
nodeperm_role first

You can find them in drupal.org/project.

Be careful with them. They tend not to play together very well, so use one at a time, not in combination.
